An extraction method of the tank characteristic quantities in infrared thermal images

In order to analyze the tank characteristic in infrared thermal image quantitatively, an extraction method of tank characteristic quantities in infrared thermal images by using MATLAB was discussed, and a group of characteristic quantities which identified tank in infrared thermal image were summarized. By calculating and processing infrared thermal image of tank which was created by simulation, the results showed that the characteristic quantities which were extracted using this method can described tank feature in infrared thermal image roundly, and provided the study foundation for target recognition technology development.
