opencv implementation of Multi-Scale patch-based contrast measure for small infrared target detection

MSPCM

opencv implementation of the following paper:

"Multiscale patch-based contrast measure for small infrared target detection"

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

Moradi, Saed, Payman Moallem, and Mohamad Farzan Sabahi. "A false-alarm aware methodology to develop robust and efficient multi-scale infrared small target detection algorithm." Infrared Physics & Technology 89 (2018): 387-397.

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

Build OpenCV from source (if you want to enable QT option to zoom on images and see the pixels value), or just simply use the following command in terminal:

$ sudo apt install libopencv-dev python3-opencv
