Abstract

In this paper we present a new method for detecting moving object in infrared image sequences which contain nuisance objects and noise. The moving target detection approach is based on wavelet transform with GPU implementation. According to the features of the modulus maxima images after wavelet transform, the background clutter and noise are eliminated. The effectiveness of this new method is demonstrated by applying the resulting algorithm to infrared images containing moving targets.
