A Survey and Evaluation of FLIR Target Detection/Segmentation Algorithms

Abstract

A study was conducted at Westinghouse and the University of Maryland to survey and evaluate FLIR target detection/segmentation algorithms. The study was conducted in software on a data base of 50 FLIR images supplied by the three branches of the armed services. The study concluded that three techniques (double-window filters, spoke filters, and border followers) perform fairly well and are implementable in real-time hardware.
