This paper proposes a complex scenes multi-scale ship detection model, called CSD-YOLO, which improves detection accuracy and the model's capacity by using the SAS-FPN module and SIoU loss function. Thorough tests on the HRSID and SSDD datasets show that CSD-YOLO achieves better detection performance than the baseline YOLOv7 and other deep learning-based methods.
Recently, deep learning techniques have been extensively used to detect ships in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The majority of modern algorithms can achieve successful ship detection outcomes when working with multiple-scale ships on a large sea surface. However, there are still issues, such as missed detection and incorrect identification when performing multi-scale ship object detection operations in SAR images of complex scenes. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a complex scenes multi-scale ship detection model, according to YOLOv7, called CSD-YOLO. First, this paper suggests an SAS-FPN module that combines atrous spatial pyramid pooling and shuffle attention, allowing the model to focus on important information and ignore irrelevant information, reduce the feature loss of small ships, and simultaneously fuse the feature maps of ship targets on various SAR image scales, thereby improving detection accuracy and the model's capacity to detect objects at several scales. The model's optimization is then improved with the aid of the SIoU loss function. Finally, thorough tests on the HRSID and SSDD datasets are presented to support our methodology. CSD-YOLO achieves better detection performance than the baseline YOLOv7, with a 98.01% detection accuracy, a 96.18% recall, and a mean average precision (mAP) of 98.60% on SSDD. In addition, in comparative experiments with other deep learning-based methods, in terms of overall performance, CSD-YOLO still performs better.
