This paper proposes an infrared dim target detection approach based on sparse representation on a discriminative over-complete dictionary. An adaptive morphological over-complete dictionary is trained and constructed online according to the content of infrared image by K-singular value decomposition (K-SVD) algorithm. Then the adaptive morphological over-complete dictionary is divided automatically into a target over-complete dictionary describing target signals, and a background over-complete dictionary embedding background by the criteria that the atoms in the target over-complete dictionary could be decomposed more sparsely based on a Gaussian over-complete dictionary than the one in the background over-complete dictionary. This discriminative over-complete dictionary can not only capture significant features of background clutter and dim targets better than a structural over-complete dictionary, but also strengthens the sparse feature difference between background and target more efficiently than a discriminative over-complete dictionary learned offline and classified manually. The target and background clutter can be sparsely decomposed over their corresponding over-complete dictionaries, yet couldn\u2019t be sparsely decomposed based on their opposite over-complete dictionary, so their residuals after reconstruction by the prescribed number of target and background atoms differ very visibly. Some experiments are included and the results show that this proposed approach could not only improve the sparsity more efficiently, but also enhance the performance of small target detection more effectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140609451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,27]],"date-time":"2014-05-27T15:34:30Z","timestamp":1401204870000},"page":"9451-9470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Sparse Representation for Infrared Dim Target Detection via a Discriminative Over-Complete Dictionary Learned Online"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zheng-Zhou","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"},{"name":"National Laboratory of Analogue Integrated Circuits, No. 24 Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, Chongqing 400060, China"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Hong-Xia","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center, Mianyang 621000, China"}]},{"given":"Ru-Zhang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Laboratory of Analogue Integrated Circuits, No. 24 Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, Chongqing 400060, China"}]},{"given":"Chang-Ju","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Laboratory of Analogue Integrated Circuits, No. 24 Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, Chongqing 400060, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"841","DOI":"10.1109\/7.220935","article-title":"Dim target detection using high order correlation method","volume":"29","author":"Liou","year":"1993","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
