Ship Detection on Sea Surface Based on Visual Saliency
The ship detection technology is of special significance in both military and civilian level. In order to detect ship targets quickly
efficiently and accurately in a wide and complex sea surface environment
a new method for ship detection based on multi-features and multi-scale visual saliency is proposed. This method makes full use of features of the hyper-complex images which can be operated simultaneously in a number of channels
save operation time
and guarantee the characteristics of different scale characteristics. First
the method uses top-hat algorithm for image preprocessing of the original image to suppress the interference of clouds and oil. Secondly
a variety of features are extracted to form hyper-complex images to detect the significance of ship targets. When we get the last saliency map
we segment ships to ensure the target location by using the OTSU algorithm
and then we mark the ship target in the original image. We make the experimental analysis in several sea conditions
and experimental results show that the algorithm can eliminate fog
cloud and grease interfering with accurate detection of ship targets. In this algorithm
true rate meets 96.52% and the false alarm rate is as low as 2.11%. Compared to other saliency detection algorithm in ship detection
