Abstract
A decamouflaging method includes: obtaining image representing a scene including a multispectral image including components in the spectral domain ranging from the visible domain to the short-wavelength infrared and a thermal image including a component in the medium infrared and/or the long-wavelength infrared; extracting a sub-part (“window”) from each of the images obtained at a given position; applying a contrast accentuation procedure to the window extracted from the multispectral image allowing an improved window to be obtained where contrast between pixels corresponding to the object and pixels not corresponding to the object is accentuated; forming a multicomponent window, the improved window obtained and the window extracted from the thermal image each supplying a component of the multicomponent window; and applying the procedure to the multicomponent window; generating an image by inserting the improved window obtained by applying the procedure to the multicomponent window in a receiving image representing the scene.
