In a FLIR target detection system, true targets (52) are isolated from potential false target indications produced by background clutter through the use of a connectivity algorithm which attempts to find around each potential target (52) a closed path (65) of lower (or higher) intensity without exceeding a predetermined distance from the centroid (64) of the potential target. If the attempt is successful, the potential target (52) is a true target; if not, it is clutter. |
