  • Patent number: 10365399
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for infrared imaging detection and positioning of an underground tubular facility in a plane terrain. Demodulation processing is performed on an original infrared image formed after stratum modulation is generated on the underground tubular facility according to an energy diffusion Gaussian model of the underground tubular facility, so as to obtain a target image of the underground tubular facility.

  • Patent number: 9817107
    Abstract: The present invention provides an above-ground building recognition method, including the following steps: (1) taking an infrared image of the ground from the air; (2) performing detection and positioning in the infrared image to determine a suspected target; (3) aiming at the suspected target to perform laser imaging; (4) performing range gating on a laser image to filter out foreground and background interference; and (5) extracting a shape feature of the suspected target from the laser image with interference filtered out, and taking the shape feature as a target matching element to perform matching with a target shape feature template, so as to recognize the target. In the method of the present invention, laser imaging is integrated into infrared imaging target positioning, so that an advantage of a large range of infrared imaging is utilized, and three-dimensional range information of laser imaging is also utilized, thereby effectively improving the precision of positioning a building.

  • Patent number: 9741120
    Abstract: An infrared imaging detection and positioning method for an underground building in a planar land surface environment comprises: obtaining an original infrared image g0 formed after stratum modulation is performed on an underground building, and determining a local infrared image g of a general position of the underground building in the original infrared image g0; setting an iteration termination condition, and setting an initial value h0 of a Gaussian thermal diffusion function; using the local infrared image g as an initial target image f0, and performing iteration solution of a thermal expansion function hn and a target image fn by using a maximum likelihood estimation algorithm according to the initial value h0 of the Gaussian thermal diffusion function; and determining whether the iteration termination condition is met, if the iteration termination condition is met, using the target image fn obtained by means of iteration solution this time as a final target image f; and if the iteration termination con

  • Patent number: 9625611
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting, recognizing, and positioning a zonal underground target in a mountain land environment by detecting a ridge position in the mountain land environment and carrying out energy correction. The method belongs to the interdisciplinary field of pattern recognition, remote sensing technology and terrain analysis. The zonal underground target can cause energy abnormity when the heat field thereof is different from that of a mountain mass, and the heat island effect of the ridge can also cause the energy of the mountain mass to be abnormal. However, the energy abnormity caused by the heat island effect is essentially different from the energy abnormity caused by the zonal underground target in the aspect of mode.
