摘要:

研究了一种具有实际意义的基于神经网络的合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像舰船检测问题。我们广泛提取不同类型的SAR图像特征,并提出一个有趣的问题:这些提取的特征是否有利于(1)抑制数据变化(例如,复杂的海陆背景、散射噪声);(2)增强了具有不同长宽比的小目标舰船的特征,从而提高了舰船检测性能。针对这一问题,本文提出了一种基于CenterNet的SAR舰船检测神经网络(SAR-ShipNet),它是在CenterNet的基础上,通过新发展的双向协调注意力(BCA)和多分辨率特征融合(MRF)来实现的。此外,考虑到任意舰船长宽比的变化,我们在CenterNet中采用椭圆高斯概率分布,以提高基础检测器模型的性能。在公共SAR-Ship数据集上的实验结果表明,我们的SAR-ShipNet在速度和准确性方面都具有竞争优势。

英文摘要:

This paper studies a practically meaningful ship detection problem from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by the neural network. We broadly extract different types of SAR image features and raise the intriguing question that whether these extracted features are beneficial to (1) suppress data variations (e.g., complex land-sea backgrounds, scattered noise) of real-world SAR images, and (2) enhance the features of ships that are small objects and have different aspect (length-width) ratios, therefore resulting in the improvement of ship detection. To answer this question, we propose a SAR-ship detection neural network (call SAR-ShipNet for short), by newly developing Bidirectional Coordinate Attention (BCA) and Multi-resolution Feature Fusion (MRF) based on CenterNet. Moreover, considering the varying length-width ratio of arbitrary ships, we adopt elliptical Gaussian probability distribution in CenterNet to improve the performance of base detector models. Experimental results on the public SAR-Ship dataset show that our SAR-ShipNet achieves competitive advantages in both speed and accuracy.
