Local gray abrupt change-based infrared small target detection method

In order to overcome the defect of poor adaptability due to excessive dependence of an infrared small target detection algorithm on infrared image models and parameters, the invention provides a local gray abrupt change-based infrared small target detection algorithm. The algorithm provides a local abrupt change weighted information entropy for background suppression by using the characteristics of an infrared small target, and then performs target enhancement by adopting a local energy method so as to effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of images.
