Abstract: In view of the objectively ambiguous feature of infrared image of unmanned autonomous ship, this paper presents a quantitative method to deal with the ambiguity problem in infrared image by using the fuzzy mathematical model to realize the purpose of intelligent recognition of infrared imaging target. In order to simplify the computation of target recognition and improve the response time and accuracy in the selection of target features in infrared images, three features of target location, radiation distribution and shape are selected for analysis in this paper. The membership functions of these three features are weighted to calculate the confidence, and the classification and recognition are realized according to the confidence. Finally, the simulation results show that the recognition method proposed in this paper can effectively identify the target, and the recognition rate is very high. Compared with the recognition methods based on neural network and SVM, the recognition distance of this method is longer than that of the latter two methods.
