Automatic Ship Detection in SAR Images Using Multi-Scale Heterogeneities and an A Contrario Decision

The robust detection of ships is one of the key techniques in coastal and marine applications of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Conventional SAR ship detectors involved multiple parameters, which need to be estimated or determined very carefully. In this paper, we propose a new ship detection appro...
