Multiscale patch-based contrast measure for small infrared target detection

作者：

Highlights：

• A biologically inspired target enhancement method called multiscale patch-based contrast measure (MPCM) is presented.

• Based on MPCM, a small IR target detection algorithm is designed.

• The proposed small target detection method achieves promising detection performance on three real IR image sequences.
