Abstract :
The cubic facet model is applied to fit the underlying intensity surface in infrared small target detective procedure. Using the partial derivatives of the fitted surface to make decisions regarding the maximum extremum points is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient and robust.
