Abstract—Infrared imaging guidance is a research hotspot in accurate terminal guidance field now. An idea on automatic extraction of region (ROI) of interest in infrared serial images is proposed in order to treat intelligently infrared serial images which are captured. The target detection algorithm of target is researched and the applying scene of the target detection algorithm is confirmed based on analysis for the features of infrared serial images. According to differences of detection algorithm for infrared serial images between static and dynamic scenes, the corresponding detection and extraction algorithm of ROI is discussed respectively. The algorithms are all simulated in real scene. A new stepwise approaching and recurring threshold search algorithm based on two-dimensional maximum entropy principle was proposed by studying recurring formulation optimized of two-dimensional maximum entropy in order to realize to detect target and extract ROI of serial images under complex background. The algorithm above realizes automatic extraction of ROI in Infrared serial images. The results improve the efficiency of accurate terminal guidance and they have good application value by practicing.
