Robust method for detecting an infrared small moving target based on the facet-based model

In this paper, a new condition for the target is proposed to increase the robustness of the facet-based detection method for zero-mean Gaussian noise. In the proposed algorithm, the pixels detected from the maximum extremum condition are checked further to discern if they are false maximum points in the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is much more robust for zero-mean Gaussian noise than the conventional detection method.
