Multi-Threshold Algorithm Based on Havrda and Charvat Entropy for Edge Detection in Satellite Grayscale Images

Automatic edge detection of an image is considered a type of crucial information that can be extracted by applying detectors with different techniques. It is a main tool in pattern recognition, image segmentation, and scene analysis. This paper introduces an edge-detection algorithm, which generates multi-threshold values. It is based on non-Shannon measures such as Havrda & Charvat’s entropy, which is commonly used in gray level image analysis in many types of images such as satellite grayscale images. The proposed edge detection performance is compared to the previous classic methods, such as Roberts, Prewitt, and Sobel methods. Numerical results underline the robustness of the presented approach and different applications are shown.

基于变邻域变步长LMS背景预测检测红外小目标

在分析强起伏背景信号的基础上,利用背景局部信号统计特征和目标运动特性,提出了一种基于变邻域变步长LMS自适应背景预测的红外弱小目标检测方法。首先将两类背景交界处像素的邻点按最大类间平均离差准则分成两类,和中心像素点相近的一类构成预测邻域,而背景内部区域采用固定预测邻域;然后提出了一种改进的变步长LMS自适应算法,在所得预测域上进行背景预测,由实际值和预测值相减得到残差图像;最后采用二维Tsallis-Havrda-Charvat熵阈值选取方法对残差图像进行分割,并根据目标运动的连续性和一致性确认真实小目标。针对实际红外图像序列的实验结果表明:该算法能有效地抑制强起伏杂波,增强目标能量,降低虚警率,对强起伏背景下弱小目标具有很好的检测性能。
