It has?extensive applications in the military?and?civil?fields, such as in precision?guidance, security monitoring, and medical imaging systems. Infrared image preprocessing includes noise reduction and background suppression, and the main factor that affects small target detection is background clutter interference. Therefore, infrared image preprocessing prioritizes background suppression algorithms. Among numerous background suppression algorithms, the Robinson guard filter is a widely used filter based on a guard band. This filter cannot only achieve excellent suppression effect, but can also integrally retain the edge and internal?information of small targets. However, the filtering mechanism of the Robinson guard filter is more sensitive to noise and cannot effectively deal with small targets with varying sizes. Given the limitation of the Robinson guard filter, this study proposes a small target detection method based on infrared background suppression. Method First, the background of infrared images is suppressed via Tophat transformation of the mathematical morphology to decrease the influence of noise on followup processing and reduce the sensitivity of the filtering mechanism of the Robinson guard filter to noise. Second, the modified Robinson guard filter is adopted to further suppress the background and to enhance the small targets of the proce
