Abstract

Mid-infrared imaging systems are widely applied in gas-leak detection. However, infrared images generally suffer from low contrast and poor quality. In this paper, an image-enhancement method based on Gaussian filtering and adaptive histogram segmentation is proposed to effectively improve the quality of infrared images. It can effectively improve the quality of infrared images, which contributes to the subsequent gas-image feature extraction. The traditional background modeling algorithm is analyzed, and the ViBe (visual background extractor) algorithm is studied in depth. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the ViBe algorithm and the characteristics of gas-leak images, a gas-leak region detection method based on the improved ViBe algorithm is proposed. The test results show that it can quickly establish a background model, segment the gas-leak region with motion characteristics, and render the gas-leak region in color based on grayscale mapping to achieve the automatic detection and enhanced display of gas leaks.
