YOLOSAR-Lite: a lightweight framework for real-time ship detection in SAR imagery

Real-time ship detection using SAR images is crucial for maritime operations but remains challenging due to issues such as sidelobes, complex background interferences, and target defocusing. Studies have shown that deep learning can address these problems, current deep learning algorithms often suff...
