A Lightweight Position-Enhanced Anchor-Free Algorithm for SAR Ship Detection

چکیده
As an active microwave device, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) uses the backscatter of objects for imaging. SAR image ship targets are characterized by unclear contour information, a complex background and strong scattering. Existing deep learning detection algorithms derived from anchor-based methods mostly rely on expert experience to set series hyperparameters, it is difficult characterize unique characteristics targets, which greatly limits accuracy speed. Therefore, this paper proposes new lightweight position-enhanced anchor-free algorithm called LPEDet. First, resolve target contours multiscale performance problems, we used YOLOX as benchmark framework redesigned backbone, NLCNet, balances speed accuracy. Second, scattering target, designed attention strategy, suppresses clutter adding position information channel that highlights more accurately identify locate target. The experimental results two large-scale datasets, SSDD HRSID, show our method achieves higher faster than state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract---As a part of Maritime Domain Awareness, there is a requirement to detect ships in satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, which provide wide area ocean surveillance. When ship detection is implemented using a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR), statistical theory can be employed to ensure that proper parameters are used to find the thresholds for detection; inaccuracy ...

Among ship detection methods for SAR image, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is the most important one. However, several factors, such as detector parameter and distribution of ocean clutter, affect the performance of CFAR detection. This paper proposes a novel hierarchical complete and operational ship detection approach based on detector parameter estimation and clutter pixel replacement, whi...

Carrying out an effective control of fishing activities is essential to guarantee a sustainable exploitation of sea resources. While traditional reconnaissance methods, such as planes and patrol vessels are indispensible, their operation is quite time consuming and costly over the extended regulated areas. On the contrary, satellitebased Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides a powerful survei...
متن کاملShip detection and characterization using polarimetric SAR
Polarimetric information is investigated for ship detection and characterization at operational satellite SAR incidence angles (20◦ to 60◦). It is shown that among the conventional single channel polarizations (HH, VV, or HV), HV provides the best ship-sea contrast at incidence angles smaller than 50◦. Furthermore, HH polarization permits the best ship-sea contrast at near grazing incidence ang...
