A new CFAR ship target detection method in SAR imagery

Abstract: Many ship target detection methods have been developed since it was verified that ship could be imaged with the space-based SAR systems. Most developed detection methods mostly emphasized ship detection rate but not computation time. By making use of the advantages of the K-distribution CFAR method and two-parameter CFAR method, a new CFAR ship target detection algorithm was proposed. In that new method, we use the K-distribution CFAR method to calculate a global threshold with a certain false-alarm rate. Then… Show more

“…Wang et al (2014) exploit the fact that sidelobes are always propagated straight in the azimuth and range directions. Another solution is image erosion on the binary ship mask (Sonka, Hlavac, and Boyle 2007;Ji et al 2010). Both techniques have the ability to diminish the distorting effect of sidelobes.…”

“…The figure of merit (FoM) in [6] is used as the evaluation index to assess the detection results. The higher values of FoM mean higher detection rate and lower false alarm rate.…”

“…The higher values of FoM mean higher detection rate and lower false alarm rate. FoM can be defined as follows: (6) where N tt counts the accurate detected ship number, N fa counts the false alarm number and N gt counts the real ship target number. Table 1 presents the evaluation indexes of the two methods.…”
