Abstract

Targeting star-like water surface clutter, a clutter suppression method based on infrared polarization information is proposed. First, the clutter is suppressed from a global perspective using infrared polarization imaging technology, and a basic clutter-suppressed image is obtained. Then, using the Reed–Xiaoli anomaly detection algorithm, the remaining clutter positions in the basic image are determined from the polarization intensity image and basic image. Finally, an image filtering algorithm is utilized to further suppress the remaining clutter in the basic image. In experiments, the proposed method can not only improve the signal-to-clutter ratio as much as 152%, but also preserve the target information and background texture features effectively, indicating clear superiority of our method over existing clutter suppression algorithms. Clutter suppression and target detail preservation can enhance observer understanding of a scene significantly, so this method is applied to the detection and recognition of targets on the water surface.
