摘要

Automated ship detection and recognition have been a challenging and interesting issue in computer vision. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become an efficient technique in ship detection. Because CNNs are highly complex, they provide an internal good representation of learned features. In the same way, they are prone to overfitting. Because of that, regularization techniques are needed for the minimization of overfitting and the improvement of the performance. We present in this paper an efficiently new approach, called ShipNET, which solves the task of ship detection in adverse conditions. As a matter of fact, this proposed approach is able to greatly impact the CNN performance and reduce its validation error. The experimental results show a clear amelioration when comparing it with different literature methods. In addition to that, the processing time is computationally effective as well, hence its use in real-time applications. The proposed approach yields a 99% precision and 98% specificity.
