Research on motion target detection based on infrared biomimetic compound eye camera

The cooled mid-wave infrared biomimetic compound eye camera has wide range of applications, such as industrial inspection, military project, and security. Due to the low resolution of individual eyes and the large field view of the imaging system, existing motion target enhancement and detection algorithms cannot effectively detect all potential targets. To address this issue, we propose an improved elementary motion detector model that combines a double-layer ON_OFF channel and a cross-type computational architecture, which is able to suppress a stationary background and enhance moving targets. In order to further reduce the missed detection, we designed the spatial and temporal consistency detection methods of the compound eye structure, which further improved the accuracy and stability of the detection results. The experimental results show that our method can fully utilize the features of the image and can be applied to the enhancement and detection of moving objects in complex scenes, and the detection efficiency is significantly improved.
