Infrared images typically have the problems of low-contrast and blur edges. This article introduces the variation theory of partial differential equations to enhance the infrared images. By reconstructing image gradient field distribution
detailed texture and low-contrast can be improved. The processing of noise consists the cut of amplitude in the transform of gradient field. Based on experiment results
the original image gray gradient can be increased by 2~3 times and therefore significantly enhances the faint information and alleviates the edge effects. This approach can effectively overcome the problem of losing similar gray scale distribution caused by the histogram class algorithms. Therefore
it gives qualified image information for image recognition and tracking application.
