摘要

Ship detection has been an active and vital topic in the field of remote sensing for a decade, but it is still a challenging problem due to the large-scale variations, the high aspect ratios, the intensive and rotated arrangement, and the background clutter disturbance. In this letter, we propose a locality-aware rotated ship detection (LARSD) framework based on a multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) to tackle these issues. The proposed framework applies a UNet-like multiscale CNN to generate multiscale feature maps with high-level semantic information in high resolution. Then, an anchor-based rotated bounding box regression is applied for directly predicting the probability, the edge distances, and the angle of ships. Finally, a locality-aware score alignment (LASA) is proposed to fix the mismatch between classification results and location results caused by the independence of each subnet. Furthermore, to enlarge the data sets of ship detection, we build a new high-resolution ship detection (HRSD) data set, where 2499 images and 9269 instances were collected from Google Earth with different resolutions. Experiments based on public data set high-resolution ship collection 2016 (HRSC2016) and our HRSD data set demonstrate that our detection method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.
