Noise Reduction and Segmentation of IR Images Using CO-Median Filters.

Abstract

A method of separating targets from background in thermal images is described. This includes noise reduction and background estimation prior to target detection. Details of the algorithm developed and its implementation on a microprocessor based image processing system are given. The results obtained from this system are summarized including comparative timings with existing techniques. (Author)
