为了解决“猫眼”目标在夜晚环境下难识别的问题，提出了一种基于归一化中心矩的轮廓匹配“猫眼”目标识别方法。首先利用中值滤波对图像进行去噪，采用固定阈值分割完成了对图像的分割，使得“猫眼”目标与部分背景分离，使用Roberts边缘检测提取出了所有物体的边缘，最后采取了基于归一化中心矩的轮廓匹配算法，该算法不受平移和放缩的影响，提取出了图像中的所有圆形目标，并利用面积判别识别了真实目标，对识别出的目标绘制最小外接圆，利用圆心坐标对其定位。通过对不同光照强度下的“猫眼”图像进行实验与对比，验证了该方法的可行性，并通过目标识别评价指标验证了该方法的有效性。实验结果表明，该方法的全局准确率可达92.1%，可以在夜晚环境不同光照强度下成功地对“猫眼”目标进行识别。

To solve the problem that “cat’s eye” target is difficult to recognize at night, a contour matching algorithm based on normalized central moment is proposed. Firstly, the median filter is used to denoise the image, and the fixed threshold segmentation is used to complete the image segmentation, so that the “cat’s eye” target is separated from part of the background. Roberts edge detection is used to extract the edges of all targets. Finally, the contour matching algorithm based on the normalized central moment is adopted, which is not affected by translation and contraction. All the circular targets in the image are extracted, and the real targets are identified by area discrimination. The minimum peripheral circle is drawn for the identified targets, and the coordinates of the center of the circle are used to locate them. The feasibility of this method is verified by experiments and comparisons of “cat’s eye” images under different illumination intensities, and the effectiveness of this method is verified by target recognition evaluation index. Experimental results show that the global accuracy of this method can reach 92.1%, and it can successfully identify the “cat’s eye” target under different illumination intensity at night.
