  • Patent number: 10282824
    Abstract: A method of eliminating stripe noise for infrared images including: selecting a specific row of data from an to-be-filtered image Aim, and obtaining a stripe width N1 from information of a frequency spectrum of the data; intercepting (N1+1) new sequences of different lengths from a specific row sequence of the image according to the stripe width N1, and obtaining an optimal interception length N by analyzing information of amplitude spectrum of each new sequence; splitting the to-be-filtered image Aim with a size of M×Nn into a pair of optimum to-be-filtered sub-images Bim and Cim with a size of M×N according to the length N; obtaining two sub-images Bimf and Cimf after using a notch-comb filter to filter the two optimum to-be-filtered sub-images Bim and Cim; carrying out a brightness adjustment and a combination process to the two sub-image Bimf and Cimf to obtain an image Aimf.
