英文摘要：

An edge-detection algorithm based on visual saliency is proposed. First, for an infrared-scene image, the proposed algorithm detects the edges using a Canny edge detector. Then, three basic： edge features are inte- grated, including the edge contrast, edge density, and edge length. Finally, the visual salient edges are ex- tracted from the infrared image. The proposed algorithm effectively suppresses false edges from the background and texture, highlights the information of the target edges, and provides good-quality edge images for automat- ic target recognition system. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.
