Lite-YOLOv5: A Lightweight Deep Learning Detector for On-Board Ship Detection in Large-Scene Sentinel-1 SAR Images

Xiaowo Xu, Xiaoling Zhang, Tianwen Zhang

Summary: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites are widely used in maritime monitoring due to their ability to provide microwave remote sensing images without weather and light constraints. However, deploying deep learning-based SAR ship detection methods on satellites is challenging due to their complex models and high computational requirements. In this study, we propose Lite-YOLOv5, a lightweight on-board SAR ship detector based on the You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) algorithm. Lite-YOLOv5 reduces the model volume, decreases the floating-point operations (FLOPs), and achieves on-board ship detection without sacrificing accuracy.
