Abstract:In view of the traditional infrared target tracking algorithm appears to be tracked target goal after deformation, partial or full shade prone to leakage problems, a new infrared target tracking algorithm was put forward. The algorithm adopts bilateral filtering approach and combines with the median optical flow method, an adaptive infrared target model is set up, in order to achieve the purpose of accurate and stable tracking target. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively track deformation or screening targets, and the algorithm owns features of strong real time, high accuracy and good robustness.
