Highlights：

• This paper advocates the local steering kernel to encode the image patch.

• A novel local adaptive contrast measure using local steering kernel is proposed.

• This paper presents a patch-based infrared small target detection approach.

• The proposed infrared small target detection method achieves promising results.
