Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to implement and test various target detection algorithms in thermal imagery. The topic of target detection and moving target detection in infrared video streams is considered as a very challenging research topic in computer vision discipline. Although there is a huge number of different algorithms developed for target detection and target tracking in video streams generated by daylight cameras, there is still a limited number of solutions in field of infrared video streams.
This document introduces some of the basic techniques for image processing and some either classical approaches or state-of-the-art algorithms for target detection in IR imagery. Some of the chosen algorithms are implemented, tested and described in more details.
