Abstract:
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used in both commercial and military areas, such as urban planning, natural resources monitoring, and military surveillance, due to its ability to form high resolution images with relative invariance to weather and lighting conditions. With these advantages, SAR automatic target detection has also attracted much more attention during the past decades. With the improvement of computing power, the detection methods based on deep learning are developing rapidly. This talk will introduce our recent work on deep learning based SAR ship detection, including semi-supervised SAR ship detection and unsupervised domain adaption SAR ship detection.
