Abstract :
An ASD (Automatic Ship Detection) system is introduced in this paper. ASD system is mainly composed of a ship detector and a wake detector. The post-processing procedures improve the detection accuracy. Ship parameters, which include ship length, ship beam, ship position, ship orientation and ship speed, are also estimated.
