In this paper, we propose the technique to detect the location and size of the small target in multi-resolution image using cubic facet model. The input image is reduced by the multi-resolution and we obtain the multi-resolution images. We apply the facet model and the local maxima conditions to the multi-resolution images of each level. And then, we detect the location of the small target. We estimate that the location at the maximum of the $D_2$ which means the local maxima value of the facet model in the multi-resolution images is the location of the small target. We can detect the small target of the various size about the multi-resolution images of each level. In this paper, we experimented in the various infrared images with the small target. The method using the typical facet model applies a mask. However, the proposed method applies a mask in the multi-resolution images. We verified to vary the mask size and differ the size of the small target. The proposed algorithm can detect the location and size of the small target.
