Patent number: 10089536Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analyzing a multispectral image (10), which includes designing a detection image from the values of a revealing function that quantifies a content shift in the multispectral image between two areas. The revealing function is applied between a target area and a background area, inside a window which is determined around each pixel. The revealing function values are determined from integral images of order one, and optionally also of order two, which in turn are calculated only once initially, so that the total amount of calculations is reduced. The analysis method is compatible with a real-time implementation during a capture of consecutive multispectral images which form a video stream, in particular for an environment-monitoring task.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Sagem Défense SécuritéInventors: Marc Bousquet, Maxime Thiebaut, Nicolas Roux, Philippe Foubert, Thierry Touati
