description With the development of artificial intelligence, Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) ship detection using deep learning technology can effectively avoid traditionally complex feature design and thereby greatly improve detection accuracy. However, most existing detection models often improve detection accuracy at the expense of detection speed that limits some real-time applications of SAR such as emergency military deployment, rapid maritime rescue, and real-time marine environmental monitoring. To solve this problem, a high-speed and high-accuracy SAR ship detection method called SARShipNet-20 based on a Depthwise Separable Convolution Neural Network (DS-CNN) has been proposed in this paper, that replaces the Traditional Convolution Neural Network (T-CNN) and combines Channel Attention (CA) and Spatial Attention (SA). As a result, high-speed and high-accuracy SAR ship detection can be simultaneously achieved. This method has certain practical significance in the field of real-time SAR application, and its lightweight model is helpful for future FPGA or DSP hardware transplantation.
