Marine Ship Target Detection in SAR Image Based on Google Earth Engine.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an important means for ship surveillance at sea due to its unique advantages of all-day and all-weather. This paper proposes a ship target detection method in SAR image based on Google Earth Engine remote sensing cloud computing platform. It can realize the real-time and fast detection of ship targets in a large area, the acquisition of ship target information and the batch download of SAR images in the detection area. Compared with the traditional ship target detection methods in SAR images, the proposed method is not limited to the acquisition, storage, utilization and batch processing of SAR satellite remote sensing data, and does not have high requirements on computer performance. Therefore, it has high practical application value for marine ship surveillance.
