Abstract

In infrared images of the sea surface, apart from the complex background of the sea surface, there are often sky and island backgrounds. The disturbances caused by sea wind and the reflection of intense sunlight on the sea surface increase the complexity of the background, which seriously hinders the detection of targets. To achieve the detection of dark-polarity ship targets in such environments, a dual-channel threshold segmentation method based on local low-gray region detection and geometric features judgment is proposed in this paper. In one channel, adaptive threshold segmentation is performed on the low-gray regions of the acquired image and combined with geometric features to obtain a finer segmentation result. In the other channel, adaptive segmentation is performed on the preprocessed image, and potential backgrounds that may be finely segmented as targets are filtered out based on an area threshold. Finally, the results of the two channels are multiplied and fused to obtain an accurate segmentation result. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the comparison algorithm in subjective and objective evaluations. The proposed algorithm in this paper not only achieves a low false alarm rate but also exhibits a higher detection rate, and the average detection rate in the test sequence surpasses 95%.
