Ship Detection in Gaofen-3 SAR Images Based on Sea Clutter Distribution Analysis and Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract: Target detection is one of the important applications in the field of remote sensing. The Gaofen-3 (GF-3) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite launched by China is a powerful tool for maritime monitoring. This work aims at detecting ships in GF-3 SAR images using a new land masking strategy, the appropriate model for sea clutter and a neural network as the discrimination scheme. Firstly, the fully convolutional network (FCN) is applied to separate the sea from the land. Then, by analyzing the sea clutter d… Show more

“…Neural networks present powerful modeling capabilities and are widely used in many applications. In this section, authors introduce the basic multilayer perceptron (MLP) [25] and the convolutional neural network (CNN) [26][27][28][29][30][31] architecture. The WindNet algorithm proposed in this paper is also described in this chapter.…”

“…(a) (b) Although the MLP is very good in modelling and pattern recognition, the convolutional neural network (CNN) [17][18][19][20][21][22] which uses the concept of weight sharing provides better accuracy in highly non-linear problems such as energy load forecasting. The one-dimensional convolution and pooling layer are presented in Figure 2b.…”

“…Gaofen-3 (GF-3) satellite is China's first civil C-band high-resolution quad-pol SAR satellite specifically missioned for ocean remote sensing. The nominal highest resolution of GF-3 data is up to 1 m. GF-3 data have been widely used on applications such as ship recognition [6][7][8][9][10], aircraft detection [11], and image translation between optical and SAR images [12].…”
