A method of detecting heat-generating objects in atmospheric background by means of an infrared radar set with broad field of vision based on the difference in the brightness amplitudes of the radiation from a point heat-generating object and the cold atmospheric background is set forth. An algorithm of a two-dimensional spatial filter that may be implemented by a computer program in the video processor of an infrared radar set is developed.
