Its a research hotspot recently to conduct image analysis and target detection using the object image acquired by the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in military survey, military mapping and ocean monitoring. To be able to quickly and accurately extract the object contour of SAR image real sequence captured by the aircraft in the low dynamic near space, the level set method is introduced in this article based on separating object from background by Difference Image Method. Then, the level set method is improved with the change of object image time sequence to accelerate contour extraction. The simulation experiment proves this method is efficient.
