An Anchor-Free Method Based on Transformers and Adaptive Features for Arbitrarily Oriented Ship Detection in SAR Images

Ship detection is a crucial application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Most recent studies have relied on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CNNs tend to struggle in gathering adequate contextual information through local receptive fields and are also susceptible to noise. Inshore scenes in S...
