Test and Evaluation for Infrared Small Target Detection System

Abstract

The infrared small target detection system has important strategic application value in the military and national defense fields. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct sufficient simulation tests to ensure its performance during the research and development process of the infrared small target detection system. Due to the sensitivity of the data, there are few publicly available test image data sources containing small infrared targets, but a large amount of test data is indispensable for the study of small infrared target detection algorithms. In response to the above problems, this paper will develop a test platform for the infrared small target detection system. A Camera Link module with FMC interface is designed for the platform. The test platform can generate a simulated image data source that can be used for the detection of small infrared targets. In simulated image data transmission, the Camera Link module is employed. In order to improve the communication performance, PCIe interface is employed. It can also send complete test data to the data received by the detection result.
