Research of Infrared Thermal Imagery Segmentation Technology Based on Visible Light Image

Abstract:

To solve the problem of infrared target recognition, byusing the complementarity of visible-light image and infrared-thermal imagery, thisarticle presents a kind of infrared thermal imagery segmentation technology. Segmentingthe target edges of visible-light images, and superimposing the edge on thecorresponding infrared thermal imagery, then segmenting the infrared thermalimagery by the improved weighted regions growing algorithm. After the testabout relevant parameters of the infraredthermal imagery, found that contrast enhancement and entropy increase, witchmaking it easy to split and recognize, and human eye subjective judgment isalso much easier. It put forward a new research method about infrared targetrecognition
