We present a survey on maritime object detection and tracking approaches, which are
essential for the development of a navigational system for autonomous ships. The electro …

This paper presents a region-adaptive clutter rejection method for small target detection in
sea-based infrared search and track. In the real world, clutter normally generates many false …

In modern warfare scenarios naval ships must operate in coastal environments. These
complex environments, in bays and narrow straits, with cluttered littoral backgrounds and …

In this paper we present a robust solution to detect and track small and distant boats from
thermal images captured by a camera mounted on an autonomous platform (buoy or patrol …

This paper presents a method for detecting high-speed incoming targets by the fusion of
spatial and temporal detectors to achieve a high detection rate for an active protection …

An infrared search and track system is an important research goal for military applications.
Although there has been much research into small infrared target detection methods, we …

Detecting small targets is essential for mitigating the sea-based Infrared search and track
(IRST) problem. It is easy to detect small targets in homogeneous backgrounds such as the …

There are many separated infrastructural objects within a harbor area that may be
considered" critical", such as gas and oil terminals or anchored naval vessels. Those objects …

In this research, an infrared small target detection method called single-window average
absolute gray difference algorithm (SW-AAGD) is proposed. This algorithm is derived from …

Detecting maritime targets with electro-optical (EO) sensors is an active area of research.
One current trend is to automate target detection through image processing or computer …
