    Area of Science:

    • Remote Sensing
    • Signal Processing
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ship detection is crucial but hindered by speckle noise.
    • Existing speckle reduction methods offer inconsistent impacts on detection accuracy.
    • Selecting optimal speckle filters and detectors lacks a robust theoretical foundation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and validate a speckle-free SAR ship detection method.
    • To introduce a Similar Pixel Number (SPN) indicator for salient target identification.
    • To establish a data-driven, theoretically grounded approach for SAR ship detection.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of the Similar Pixel Number (SPN) indicator using Context Covariance Matrix (CCM) similarity test.
    • Leveraging differences in homogeneity between ships and sea clutter within a moving window.
    • Development of a speckle-free detection flowchart and experimental validation on multiple SAR datasets.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed SPN indicator effectively distinguishes ships from sea clutter.
    • The speckle-free approach demonstrates superior performance compared to traditional methods.
    • Achieved high Figures of Merit (FoM) of 97.14% (Radarsat-2), 90.32% (GaoFen-3), and 93.75% (Sentinel-1).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed speckle-free SAR ship detection method offers a significant advancement.
    • The SPN indicator provides a reliable and efficient means for target identification in SAR imagery.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of traditional speckle reduction techniques, enhancing detection accuracy and reliability.
