Key points
- First valuable research has emerged since 30 years ago and the two last decades witnessed very significant publications in this field following the rise of low-rank and sparse decomposition (model-based methods) and deep learning models (data-based methods).
- In this context, the aim of this paper is to provide a complete survey of the traditional and recent approaches in infrared small target detection.
- First, we categorize the different approaches found in the literature in terms of the modeling models, i.e mathematical models, machine learning models and signal processing models.
- Furthermore, we present the available resources, datasets and libraries.
