A Novel Ship Wake Detection Algorithm Based on WTHT and Radon Transform

This paper proposes a novel ship wake detection algorithm based on the White Top-hat Transform (WTHT) and the Radon transform, which aims to improve the contrast between the ship wake and the background so as to improve the detection performance on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The proposed algorithm includes two major processes, and one is to improve the contrast and another one is to locate the ship wake. In high sea state conditions, the contrast of ship wake and background can be very low, which makes it difficult to detect. In the first step, the proposed contrast improvement algorithm is applied to improving the contrast which helps for improving the detection performance. An attribute filter based on edge detection result is adopted here. In the second step the contrast improved image is transformed into the Radon domain followed by peak extraction process to find the wake, the WTHT is used once more in this step. Finally, in the last step, the wake is overlapped on the original image. Experimental results on Tiangong-2 Interferometric Imaging Radar Altimeter (InIRA) images are presented and compared with that obtained by using the classical algorithm, and in this way, the better performance of our algorithm is demonstrated.      

基于遥感图像分块直线特征检测的机场跑道检测方法

针对遥感图像机场跑道检测问题,提出了一种基于图像分块直线特征检测的机场跑道检测方法。首先,针对遥感图像数据量大带来的计算处理问题,设计了基于直线分割检测子（LSD）的遥感图像分块直线特征检测环节;然后,在总结归纳机场跑道数学特性的基础上,对提取的直线特征进行平行线分组、直线生长、平行线合并,并以Radon变换为基础,找出候选机场跑道区域;最后,使用灰度统计信息并结合梯度方向直方图对候选区域进行处理,筛选出最终的机场道路区域。实验结果表明,在能够提取出有效直线特征的情况下,该方法可以对多类机场跑道进行有效定位。
