Abstract :
Ship detection is an important application in remote sensing and Earth observation since last century. Properties of ship targets changed greatly as observation accuracy of SAR sensors is strongly increased. Ship targets become objects detailed in structure by contrast to point targets in lower resolution SAR images. In this paper, we present a radiometric-spatial analysis (RSA) based method for ship detection in high resolution SAR images.
