The stage is a complex environment with many special equipment, frequent lighting changes and other special circumstances. Therefore, the active infrared video moving target detection and identification technology can be introduced into the stage detection and monitoring, and the moving target and the motion trajectory are positioned and identified by presetting the infrared camera in advance. When the system is detected abnormal system, the trigger signal, trigger the camera to quickly capture the fault point of the screen information, the screen information sent to the monitoring center terminal display, so that monitoring personnel quickly grasp the abnormal situation information, make emergency response, improve the level of stage monitoring , Security performance carried out smoothly and safely. In the infrared image, both the target and the target are the main detection methods, namely, track before detect (TBD) and the detect before track (DBT), the two Methods used in the mathematical tools and algorithms shown in Figure 1. In recent years, infrared target detection and identification methods are mainly focused on the following aspects.
