Thermal Infrared Target Recognition Using Multi-scale Fractal Model

Using the thermal infrared image acquired by thermal airborne hyperspectral imager(TASI),temperature and emissivity are separated.And target fine recognition based on temperature image using multi-scale fractal model was studied.Experimental results show that there is a positive correlation between fractal dimension and complexity of temperature spatial heterogeneity.Spatial distribution of temperature has a character of multi-scale fractal.Multi-scale fractal method was used to extract the thresholds,and extract the edge feature of building successfully.This method has an important value on classification,information extraction,and scale effect.
