Infrared Small Target Detection Based on the Weighted Strengthened Local Contrast Measure

In this letter, a weighted strengthened local contrast measure (WSLCM) algorithm for infrared (IR) small target detection is proposed, it consists of two modules, the strengthened local contrast measure (SLCM), and the weighting function. In the SLCM calculation, the ideas of matched filter and background estimation are adopted to enhance true target and suppress complex background, then both rati...
