Abstract With spring up of infrared imaging related industry, infrared imaging technology has become mainstream development direction of intelligent photoelectrical detection due to its good concealment, wide detection range, high positioning accuracy, long distant penetration, light weight, little volume, low power dissipation and high solidity. However, the features of infrared dim-small target image such as less details and low SNR become bottleneck of infrared image application. How to enhance imaging effect of infrared dim-small target becomes research hotspot. Starting from the point of ‘restoration as foundation’, the theory and technology of infrared dim-small target super-resolution restoration by utilizing the theory and technology of super-resolution restoration are explored in this paper. This paper mainly focuses on the research of super-resolution restoration algorithm of infrared dim-small target based on infrared micro-scanning optical model. Aiming at solving super-resolution restoration problem of infrared dim-small target, the traditional super-resolution restoration algorithm is optimized and the improved algorithm is proposed. Meanwhile, infrared micro-scanning optical model is introduced to break theoretical limit of simple image processing algorithm. And the performance of infrared image super-resolution restoration is improved.
