We propose a single-frame detection method for infrared imaging SF 6 gas leakage based on the IPI model. Due to the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) limitation in describing complex backgrounds, this method uses weighted nuclear norm minimization (WNNM) to better describe the background's low-rank characteristics and then solve the problem using the Accelerating Proximal Gradient (APG) algorithm. Finally, it is possible to accurately extract SF 6 gas leakage points from the sparse target image using adaptive threshold segmentation. We conducted experiments on both indoor and outdoor SF 6 gas leakage tracks. The results demonstrate that the algorithm can effectively reduce the false noise generated by the complex background edge under indoor experimental conditions with SF 6 gas leakage of 0.04ml/min and a distance of 5m, while also improving leak detection accuracy.
