An algorithm of infrared background clutter suppression based on total variation theory

An algorithm of spatial background clutter suppression of infrared image based on total variation theory is proposed for small target detection in complicated background. By analyzing the MAP model, the concept of total variation is introduced as prior information constraints the smoothness of background image, converting it to a functional optimization problem. While the data fidelity to observed image holds, the background estimate can still maintain edges, effectively reducing false-alarm where gray level varies dramatically in complicated background. Feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by simulation experiments. Analysis o~ the result shows that background suppression performance is remarkably improved compared to traditional methods, with its implementation suitable for engineering fulfillment of mass image data parallel processing.
