Advances In Unsupervised Ship Detection With Multiscale Techniques

This paper constitutes an example of analysis proving that new satellite borne full polSAR data is favorable for automatic ship detection purposes. In particular, this paper is based on a multiscale method for automatic ship enhancement based on the wavelet transform on single channel data and it proposes its extension to full polSAR images. Then, the enhancement of contrast of the ships with respect to the background sea reached with the method proposed is compared to that obtained by the classical polarization entropy.
