An Automatic Ship Detection Method Based on Local Gray-Level Gathering Characteristics in SAR Imagery

This paper proposes an automatic ship detection method based on gray-level gathering characteristics of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The method does not require any prior knowledge about ships and background observation. It uses a novel local gray-level gathering degree (LGGD) to characte...
