Prior work has shown that the masked target transform volume (MTTV) clutter metric provides a measure of scene clutter that better correlates to measured probability of detection for human observers than several previously published clutter metrics. Several factors involved in using the MTTV to assess clutter in imagery are discussed here. A previously published modification to the MTTV metric to provide a normalized output value comparable across different image sets regardless of scene size is reviewed. Initial MTTV development required knowledge of a scene's target signature and produced an unbounded metric value. Metric behavior is discussed for the case in which an average of several target signatures is used in place of a specific target signature. This allows the MTTV to be calculated for images that do not contain a target. It is shown that the user may trade computational efficiency with metric accuracy to suit a particular application. The sensitivity of the metric to variations in image noise level, target segmentation error, and viewing distance are also presented.

“…Wavelet derived edge points were used by the authors in the model discussed in this paper as such a metric, but, there are others that could be used. Additionally, if a relative metric is used as one of the input vectors, a determination could be made as to which of the metrics is contributing the most weight to the final detection probability value [17].…”

The mean search time of observers searching for targets in visual scenes with clutter is computed using the Fuzzy Logic Approach (FLA). The FLA is presented as a robust method for the computation of search times and or probabilities of detection for signature management decisions. The Mamdani/Assilian and Sugeno models have been investigated and are compared. The Search_2 data set from TNO is used to build and validate the fuzzy logic model for detection. The input parameters are the: local luminance, range, aspect, width, wavelet edge points and the single output is search time. The Mamdani/Assilian model gave predicted mean search times for data not used in the training set that had a 0.957 correlation to the field search times. The data set is reduced using a clustering method then modeled using the FLA and results are compared to experiment.

In this paper, a novel optimized genetic algorithm based on morphology for target detection from infrared images is proposed. In our improved algorithm, a new fitness measurement method based on target characteristics value is introduced to meet specific target detection needs. Male and female parent dynamic clustering methods are put forward to make crossover operator more reasonable. Besides, multi-population parallel evolution and optimum individual transplant strategy are adopted to merge optimum individual keeping and gene keeping effectively. Crossover probability and mutation probability are adjusted adaptively according to population diversity and more reasonable target characteristics variable is designed according to the features of infrared images. Morphology filter based on genetic optimization for infrared target detection is given to recognize structural information and target background information. Experimental results demonstrate that the convergence speed can be controlled and local search ability is increased as well by using trained structural elements based on improved genetic optimum. In addition, the efficiency and accuracy is boosted evidently and noise can be restrained to a great extent.
