Abstract

Due to the complicated maritime climate environment, the detection of marine Ship by using Remote sensing images is faced with many challenges in the field of object detection. In this paper, a ship detection method based on dark channel priority haze removal and Faster RCNN is proposed to solve this problem. We label and experiment with thousands of ships images on the sea. Compared with the using of object detection model directly and some traditional methods, the detection accuracy of the new method is obviously improved.
