Due to the low signal to noise ratio and limited spatial resolution, small targetdetection in an infrared image is a challenging task. Existing methods often have high false alarm rates and low probabilities of detection when infrared small targets submerge in the background clutter. In this paper, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is adapted to extract the hidden features of small targets from infrared imagery with a proposed technique for a large amount of training data generation. The Point Spread Function (PSF) is employed to model the small target data and generate positive samples. The random background image patches are selected as the negative samples. In this way, the detection problem is skillfully converted into a problem of pattern classification using CNN. Extensive synthetic and real small targets were tested to evaluate the performance of this novel small targetdetection framework. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is simple and effective with satisfactory detection accuracy.

Visual object classification has long been studied in visible spectrum by utilizing conventional cameras. Since the labeled images has recently increased in number, it is possible to train deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with significant amount of parameters. As the infrared (IR) sensor technology has been improved during the last two decades, labeled images extracted from IR sensors have been started to be used for object detection and recognition tasks. We address the problem of infrared object recognition and detection by exploiting 15K images from the real-field with long-wave and mid-wave IR sensors. For feature learning, a stacked denoising autoencoder is trained in this IR dataset. To recognize the objects, the trained stacked denoising autoencoder is fine-tuned according to the binary classification loss of the target object. Once the training is completed, the test samples are propagated over the network, and the probability of the test sample belonging to a class is computed. Moreover, the trained classifier is utilized in a detect-by-classification method, where the classification is performed in a set of candidate object boxes and the maximum confidence score in a particular location is accepted as the score of the detected object. To decrease the computational complexity, the detection step at every frame is avoided by running an efficient correlation filter based tracker. The detection part is performed when the tracker confidence is below a pre-defined threshold. The experiments conducted on the real field images demonstrate that the proposed detection and tracking framework presents satisfactory results for detecting tanks under cluttered background.

An ongoing challenge for many military imaging systems is the detection and classification of weak target signatures in a cluttered environment. In such cases, the use of image contrast and relative target motion alone does not always provide a sufficient level of target discrimination to give operational confidence and it is therefore necessary to consider the use of other discriminatory scene information. Polarisation is one such source of information and this paper reports on an extensive series of polarimetric trials undertaken across the visible, NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR spectral bands. Using this data, the benefits and limitations of polarisation discrimination are reviewed in the context of practical military scenarios. It is shown that polarisation signatures vary with viewing geometry and atmospheric conditions. This would lead to an unpredictable performance level if the sensor discrimination was based solely on polarisation. However, by carefully combining polarisation with other scene information, useful operational benefits can be obtained and this is illustrated through a consideration of different data fusion approaches.

Recently, a hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) with a Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer has been widely used due to its strengths in detecting gaseous fumes. Even though numerous algorithms for detecting gaseous fumes have already been studied, it is still difficult to detect target gases properly because of atmospheric interference substances and unclear characteristics of low concentration gases. In this paper, we propose detection algorithms for classifying hazardous gases using a deep neural network (DNN) and a convolutional neural network (CNN). In both the DNN and CNN, spectral signal preprocessing, e.g., offset, noise, and baseline removal, are carried out. In the DNN algorithm, the preprocessed spectral signals are used as feature maps of the DNN with five layers, and it is trained by a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm (50 batch size) and dropout regularization (0.7 ratio). In the CNN algorithm, preprocessed spectral signals are trained with 1 x 3 convolution layers and 1 x 2 max-pooling layers. As a result, the proposed algorithms improve the classification accuracy rate by 1.5% over the existing support vector machine (SVM) algorithm for detecting and classifying hazardous gases.
