To detect IWST, foreign and domestic scholars put forward many meaningful detection methods. However, most of the algorithms are too much complex in the calculation to meet real-time and reliability requirements in practical application.A simple self-adaptive threshold algorithm to capture and track the IWST is presented in this paper. Testing results showed that algorithm not only effectively extract IWST and track it through the clouds in the sky background, but also has a strong robustness for the interference of background noises.
