Abstract:

Ship detection is a hotspot in the field of high-resolution remote sensing image interpretation. Aiming at the challenges of dense arrangement, different directions, and complex background of ships in remote sensing images, a rotated CenterNet using semantec information (RSI-CenterNet) multidirectional ship target detection method is proposed. First, we add a branch to predict the angle of objects in CenterNet. Second, a semantic segmentation branch is added, and the feature of semantic segmentation branch is used to guide the detection head to locate the center point more accurately. Finally, an attention module is introduced to enhance the feature of the significant areas and channels. Experimental results show that compared with other advanced methods, the proposed method has higher detection accuracy and detection speed, with an average accuracy of 88.31% and detection speed of 17.8 FPS in HRSC2016 dataset.

Key words: high-resolution remote sensing images, ship target, key-point detection, semantic information, multi-direction detection
