Detection of Small Ship Objects Using Anchor Boxes Cluster and Feature Pyramid Network Model for SAR

Detection of Small Ship Objects Using Anchor Boxes Cluster and Feature Pyramid Network Model for SAR Imagery

FPN： suitable for the detection of multiple small ship objects in SAR images.

论文目的

This study aims to resolve the problems associated with small-object and multi-object ship detection in complex scenarios by proposing a detection method based on an optimized FPN model.

论文算法

1.embedded in a traditional region proposal network (RPN) and mapped into a new feature space for object identification.

2.the k-means clustering algorithm based on the shape similar distance (SSD) measure is used to optimize the FPN
论文中提出由于目标舰船是多尺度的，所以使用anchor-based算法生成FPN map.由于Anchor的数量和尺度是一组超参数，并且在实际中目标非常容易变化,因此anchor生成机制会减缓收敛，因此选择初始化anchor boxes。即使用ssd-kmeans进行聚类。这里的ssd指的是shape similar distance

论文结果

shows an accuracyof98.62%.

创新点

ssd-kmeans

缺点

首先是没有实时性和参数对比，其次，针对复杂场景，误检率没有提高。
