Auto-interpretation of IR dim and small multitarget using unattended equipments

A practical method for unattended equipments to auto-interpret IR dim and small multitargets is introduced. The automatic positioning of a target segment was performed by discriminating the cumulated target signal change in image sequences, and then the target recognization was implemented by using trace forecasting correlation in the target segments. The processing results for some target image sequences were presented. It is proved that this method can reduce the image interpretation time and ensure the target recognition speed.
