Abstract
In this paper, we present a robust and accurate multiple ship detection system for
port surveillance. First, water region is detected using a region-based technique.
Second, ships are located by a cabin detector for the same port surveillance sequences.
Third, a verification process is performed to remove the false detections
of ships using the detected water region as contextual cues. We have analyzed
our water region detection algorithm by experimenting on 5 sequences and we
have found that it achieves an average pixel classification precision of 96.9% and
a recall of 91.8%. The multiple ship detection system is tested on 3 different
surveillance sequences. We successfully detect 133 ships out of 150 ships with a
precision of 87.5% and a recall of 88.7%.
