ABSTRACT:
The development of an efficient moving
target detection algorithm in IR-image sequence is considered one of the most
critical research fields in modern IRST (Infrared Search and Track) systems,
especially when dealing with moving dim point targets. In this paper we propose
a new approach in processing of the Infrared image sequence for moving dim
point targets detection built on the transformation of the IR-image sequence
into 4-vectors for each frame in the sequence. The results of testing the
proposed approach on a set of frames having a simple single pixel target
performing a different motion patterns show the validity of the approach for
detecting the motion, with simplicity in calculation and low time consumption.
