A Robust Infrared Small Target Detection Algorithm Based on Human Visual System
Open accessAbstract
Robust human visual system (HVS) properties can effectively improve the infrared (IR) small target detection capabilities, such as detection rate, false alarm rate, speed, etc. However, current algorithms based on HVS usually improve one or two of the aforementioned detection capabilities while sacrificing the others. In this letter, a robust IR small target detection algorithm based on HVS is proposed to pursue good performance in detection rate, false alarm rate, and speed simultaneously. First, an HVS size-adaptation process is used, and the IR image after preprocessing is divided into subblocks to improve detection speed. Then, based on HVS contrast mechanism, the improved local contrast measure, which can improve detection rate and reduce false alarm rate, is proposed to calculate the saliency map, and a threshold operation along with a rapid traversal mechanism based on HVS attention shift mechanism is used to get the target subblocks quickly. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm has good robustness and efficiency for real IR small target detection applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
