Infrared small target images are usually interfered by thermal and speckle noise, and their detection accuracy and robustness face severe challenges.

A multiscale feature fusion mechanism combined with a jump connection integrates the encoder’s multi-level features with the decoder’s up-sampling features, which enables noise reduction and detail recovery. Experimental results show that IR-SDTNet not only eliminates most noise from infrared images but also helps restore fine details, and furthermore enhances the detectability of small targets, especially under high-noise backgrounds where its denoising and restoration capabilities are particularly strong.

摘要

Infrared small target images are usually interfered by thermal and speckle noise, and their detection accuracy and robustness face severe challenges. Under high-noise conditions, issues such as low signal-to-noise ratio, background clutter, and blurred target structures severely hinder detection accuracy.In this paper, we propose IR-SDTNet, a denoising detection framework for infrared small targets. It adopts a hierarchical framework and enhances feature representation through dual modeling of local and global features. A multiscale feature fusion mechanism combined with a jump connection integrates the encoder’s multi-level features with the decoder’s up-sampling features, which enables noise reduction and detail recovery. Experimental results show that IR-SDTNet not only eliminates most noise from infrared images but also helps restore fine details, and furthermore enhances the detectability of small targets, especially under high-noise backgrounds where its denoising and restoration capabilities are particularly strong.
