Abstract

We apply graph matching method to detect infrared small moving targets using image sequences. Candidates (interest points) detected in the first frame form one graph and the same candidates in the last frame form another one. The real moving targets are extracted by matching these two graphs. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and efficient to the translation and rotation of the background.
