To maintain national socio-economic development and maritime rights and interests, it is necessary to obtain the space location information of various ships. Therefore, it is important to detect the locations of ships accurately and rapidly. At present, ship detection is mainly carried out by combining satellite remote sensing imaging with constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. However, with the rapid development of satellite remote sensing technology, remote sensing data have gradually begun to show the characteristics of ''big data''; additionally, the accuracy and speed of ship detection can be improved by analysing big data, such as by deep learning. Thus, a ship detection algorithm that combines CFAR and CNN is proposed based on the CFAR global detection algorithm and image recognition with the CNN model. Compared with the multi-level CFAR algorithm that is based on multithreading, the algorithm in this paper is more suitable for application to ship detection systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
