Considering the influence of edge noise, we propose an improved Hessian matrix background modeling (IHMM) algorithm, where a local saliency function for adaptive representation of the local gradient difference between the target and background region is constructed to suppress the background and preserve the target. Because the target energy is still weak after the background modeling, a new local multi-scale gradient maximum (LMGM) energy-enhancement model is constructed to enhance the target signal, and with the help of LMGM, the target\u2019s energy significant growth and the target\u2019s recognition are clearer. Thus, based on the above preprocessing, using the motion correlation of the target between frames, this paper proposes an innovative collaborative filtering model combining F-norm and Pasteur coefficient (FNPC) to obtain the real target in sequence images. In this paper, we selected six scenes of the target size of 2 \u00d7 2 to 3 \u00d7 3 and with complex clouds and ground edge contour to finish experimental verification. By comparing with 10 algorithms, the background modeling indicators SSIM, SNR, and IC of the IHMM model are greater than 0.9999, 47.4750 dB, and 12.1008 dB, respectively. In addition, the target energy-enhancement effect of LMGM model reaches 17.9850 dB in six scenes, and when the false alarm rate is 0.01%, the detection rate of the FNPC model reaches 100% in all scenes. It shows that the algorithm proposed in this paper has excellent performance in dim and small target detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14184490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]],"date-time":"2022-09-08T20:50:27Z","timestamp":1662670227000},"page":"4490","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Dim and Small Target Detection Based on Improved Hessian Matrix and F-Norm Collaborative Filtering"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xiangsuo","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Liuzhou 545006, China"}]},{"given":"Juliu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Liuzhou 545006, China"}]},{"given":"Huajin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Liuzhou 545006, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"574","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2013.2242477","article-title":"A Local Contrast Method for Small Infrared Target Detection","volume":"52","author":"Chen","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
