New method improves oriented ship detection in remote sensing imagery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting oriented ships in very high-resolution remote sensing imagery, addressing challenges posed by elongated hull shapes and dense target distributions. The approach introduces a C3k2_Strip module that utilizes orthogonal strip convolutions to better capture hull structures. Additionally, a Class-Aware Direction-Aware Exclusion Loss (CA-DAEL) function is employed to reduce redundant predictions by considering class, direction, and confidence cues. Experiments on the HRSC2016 and DIOR-R datasets showed significant improvements, with the method achieving 78.45% and 53.71% mAP50:95, respectively, and outperforming the YOLOv11-OBB baseline by 6.32 percentage points on HRSC2016.
