Infrared small target detection via adaptive M-estimator ring top-hat transformation

作者：

Highlights：

• An adaptive ring top-hat transformation for infrared target detection is presented.

• Designing a structural element based on M-estimator and ring shape.

• A novel local entropy is proposed further to incorporate with top-hat transformation.

• The proposed algorithm yields high detection probability under complex background.
