Abstract: In view of that the traditional ship detection algorithms cannot effectively avoid the influence of the side lobe effect on results,which mostly consider the gray contrast between the ship and the background.The geometric characteristics of the target object on the SAR images are not fully utilized,and the detection accuracies are low,therefore a target detection algorithm based on the ship's multi-features is proposed.The azimuth estimation method and the stepwise approximation method are used to eliminate the influence of the side lobe effect on the geometric characteristics (area,aspect ratio and rectangularity) and gray contrast,and then the variance coefficient method is used to distribute different weight for the four features to calculate the confidence.By determining the best confidence threshold to remove the non-target objects among the candidate targets and optimize the detection results,this paper uses Sentinel-1 images to verify the algorithm,the two-parameter CFAR algorithm and the KSW double-threshold algorithm are used as comparative experiments.The experimental results show that for three images with different background complexities,the quality factor of the proposed algorithm exceeds 0.7 with the minimum calculation time,and it maintains optimal detection performance for images with complex background.
