Abstract:Ship detection based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is one of the key applications for maritime security. Compared with single-channel SAR images, polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data contains the fully-polarized information, which better facilitates better discriminating between targets, sea clutter, and interference. Therefore, many ship detection methods based on the polarimetric scattering mechanism have been studied. To deal with the false alarms caused by the existence of ghost targets, resulting fr… Show more
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.
