In this paper, aiming at the small target detection problem in the infrared image sequence, we propose a small target detection method based on maximum likelihood estimation and NNLoG spot detection operator. Compared with the traditional method, our proposed method can partially solve the nonlinear motion of the small target in image sequence. The real target trajectory is approximated by polynomial to enhance the signal to noise ratio of target. To validate the proposed method, we create eight experiments to simulate. The experiment result shows that our method is very valuable for small target detection.
