Abstract	This paper deals with the detection of dim point targets in infrared images. Dim point targets detection is always a difficulty in information processing. Researchers have proposed many effective methods; this paper introduces a new method. Whereas difference method has obtained good result in one dimensional signal processing, this paper manages to apply it to two dimensional signal processing, that is to say, dim point targets detection in infrared images of low SNR. The image background is color noise, and its column correlation is strong. So, ordinary methods probably lose the true targets because of the strong color noise, but unlike them, difference method can overcome this shortcoming, it can eliminate correlation noise and enhance useful information, finally pick out the probable targets from noise background. In the paper, the method was given a more extensive account. In order to improve the detection effect, we utilize prefilter. The prefilter is realized by the alpha filter. Because the same targets have same location in more than three frames, using alpha filter can utilize the information of adjacent frames, increase the SNR of the raw data and reduce the noise of the images.<>
