A novel automatic target detection and tracking algorithm for tracking targets based on ship borne infrared imagery is proposed in this paper. The algorithm has two modes: detection and tracking. In detection mode, the proposed algorithm utilized difference between the consecutive frames and top-hat filter to determine the target position. In tracking mode, the Intensity Variation Function (IVF) is utilized. Before tracking and location the new position, the algorithm should determine the IVF whether reliable. If unreliable, the mode turns to detection. Experimental results by using real-life infrared image sequence are shown to validate the robustness of the proposed technique.

In order to enhance the rapidity and the accuracy of moving target detection and tracking, and improve the speed of the algorithm on the DSP (digital signal processor), an active visual tracking system was designed based on the gaussian mixture background model and Meanshift algorithm on DM6437. The system use the VLIB library developed by TI, and through the method of gaussian mixture background model to detect the moving objects and use the Meanshift tracking algorithm based on color features to track the target in RGB space. Finally, the system is tested on the hardware platform, and the system is verified to be quickness and accuracy.
