A MMW Radiometric Imaging Partition Method Based on the Morphology Algorithm

Because of working at all day and all weather, a MMW radiometer can provide more specific information than infrared and optical detectors. But it is urgent to solve the important problem of the MMW radiometric image partition of multiple targets for target identification. By confirming the different brightness area of radiometric image based on MMW radiation characteristic, a new approach to radiometric image partition is presented based on the morphology pretreatment and image partition of watershed algorithm. The partition result of 3 mm band radiometric image shows the algorithm is virtual partition for low brightness temperature targets.
