If you are using this code in your researches, kindly cite the following paper:

Aghaziyarati, Saeid, Saed Moradi, and Hasan Talebi. "Small infrared target detection using absolute average difference weighted by cumulative directional derivatives." Infrared Physics & Technology 101 (2019): 78-87.

The code is implemented using OpenCV 3.4 in Ubuntu 18.04 environment. It is not tested for other OpenCV versions, but it should work.

Prerequisites

OpenCV

Setup
