Infrared target detection is a popular applied field in object detection as well as a challenge. This paper proposes the focus and attention mechanism-based YOLO (FA-YOLO), which is an improved method to detect the infrared occluded vehicles in the complex background of remote sensing images. Firstly, we use GAN to create infrared images from the visible datasets to make sufficient datasets for training as well as using transfer learning. Then, to mitigate the impact of the useless and complex background information, we propose the negative sample focusing mechanism to focus on the confusing negative sample training to depress the false positives and increase the detection precision. Finally, to enhance the features of the infrared small targets, we add the dilated convolutional block attention module (dilated CBAM) to the CSPdarknet53 in the YOLOv4 backbone. To verify the superiority of our model, we carefully select 318 infrared occluded vehicle images from the VIVID-infrared dataset for testing. The detection accuracy-mAP improves from 79.24% to 92.95%, and the F1 score improves from 77.92% to 88.13%, which demonstrates a significant improvement in infrared small occluded vehicle detection.

This paper presents an improved method to detect moving object and obtain the relative accurate location. First we detect the edge difference of continuous frames. Then we utilize the contour matching to find the edge pairs in order to reach a good detection of the moving object and location. The extensive experiments show that our method is robust and efficient to the moving object detection.

Several algorithms are used nowadays for detecting stellar objects in astronomical images, for example in the DAOPHOTprogram package and in SExtractor (Software for source extraction). Our team has become acquainted with the wavelet transform and its good localization properties. After studying the manual for DAOPHOT and SExtractor, and becoming familiar with the  trous algorithm used for calculating the wavelet transform, we set ourselves the task to implement an algorithm for star detection on the basis of the wavelet transform. We focused on detecting stellar objects in complex fields, such as globular clusters and galaxies. This paper describes a stellar object detection algorithm with the help ofthe wavelet transform, and presents our results.

We present an improved method to detect moving object and obtain the relative accurate location in this paper. The Canny detector is applied to detect the edge of image, which is the edge difference of continuous frames. Then we utilize the pair of moving object information to reach a good detection of the moving object and location. The extensive experiments show that our method is efficient to the moving object detection.
