Target tracking plays a vital role in the development of battlefield surveillance, airspace surveillance and Border Patrolling. The rapid uses of infrared imagery in target tracking prevents from a wide range of attacks in border security, sea shore security. Infrared imagery is an effective method to cluster heat generating targets and it can penetrate fog, haze, dust, smoke, snow, rain and extreme darkness operate at day and night. Infrared imagery is one of the major and efficient defensive medium in surveillance and monitoring activity. In this paper, an introduction of target tracking algorithms in infrared imagery is discussed and three detection algorithms such as single Reference Frame, Moving Average and Temporal Median Filter with tracking algorithm are implemented and analyzed on multiple targets dataset. This will open the new area for the researcher in the research field of security.
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.
