A novel temporal contrast filter (TCF)-based method was developed to detect supersonic small infrared targets. The proposed hysteresis threshold-based detection followed by the TCF can enhance the accuracy of the target position, the robustness to background clutter and the velocity range of moving targets compared with the conventional temporal variance filter-based method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
