Abstract

Infrared images in the sky scence often contain different complexity noises, which affect the validity of target detection algorithm and result in high false alarm rate. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a method based on weighted order morphology, which utilizes the improved open operation to do the denoising and then uses the edge structuring element to extract the small target, and defines a weighted order morphology-based top-hat (WOTH) operation to suppress background while enhancing the target, and finally complete the detection of target by using a simple adaptive threshold. The algorithm combines three different structuring elements, and has four adjustable parameters. By controlling the structure elements' size and related parameters, the target and the background can be quickly separated, the use of weighted local entropy operation also enhance the target effectively. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress different types of interference and accurately detect infrared small targets, and has a good performance in robustness and fastness.
