Aiming at the problem of in-harbor ship detection in forward-looking infrared image, this paper proposes a
method for ship segmentation and false alarm suppressing based on k-means clustering segmentation. We obtain the
simulated model images from visible satellite images and perspective relations. And the harbor area is determined by matching with HOG features. Then we segment the ship out of the harbor area. In order to suppress the false alarm, we apply k-means clustering segmentation to get the ship and the sea area simultaneously. By calculating the external convex polygon, we get rid of the false alarm targets. Experimental results suggest that our method has high detection accuracies and low false alarm rate.
Aiming at the problem of tracking 3D target in forward-looking infrared (FLIR) image, this paper proposes a high-accuracy robust tracking algorithm based on SIFT and particle filter. The main contribution of this paper is the proposal of a new method of estimating the affine transformation matrix parameters based on Monte Carlo methods of particle filter. At first, we extract SIFT features on infrared image, and calculate the initial affine transformation matrix with optimal candidate key points. Then we take affine transformation parameters as particles, and use SIR (Sequential Importance Resampling) particle filter to estimate the best position, thus implementing our algorithm. The experiments demonstrate that our algorithm proves to be robust with high accuracy.
