IR image databases generation under target intrinsic thermal variability constraints

Jerome Gilles, Stephane Landeau, Tristan Dagobert, Philippe Chevalier, Christian Bolut

This paper deals with the problem of infrared image database generation for ATR assessment purposes. Huge databases are required to have quantitative and objective performance evaluations. We propose a method which superimpose targets and occultants on background under image quality metrics constraints to generate realistic images. We also propose a method to generate target signatures with intrinsic thermal variability based on 3D models plated with real infrared textures.
