Title:
IMAGE TARGET IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, IMAGE TARGET IDENTIFICATION METHOD, AND IMAGE TARGET IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/055772
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A target object in an infrared image can be identified. A device is provided with a luminance histogram calculation unit (6) which generates a luminance histogram indicating a frequency of appearance of a luminance value included in the infrared image and determines the luminance value which corresponds to the peak in the luminance histogram as a background luminance level of a background in the infrared image; a luminance shift calculation unit (7) which sets the background luminance value as an intermediate value in the luminance range width of the infrared image and generates a luminance shift image by linearly shifting other luminance values in the infrared image on the basis of the intermediate value; a reversed image processing unit (8) which generates a reversed shift image wherein the luminance level of the luminance shift image is reversed; and a luminance calculation processing unit (9) which generates a calculation-processed image by performing a calculation process on the basis of the difference in the luminance values at corresponding positions in the luminance shift image and the reversed shift image.
