A Comparative Study of Operational Vessel Detectors for Maritime Surveillance Using Satellite-Borne Synthetic Aperture Radar

This paper presents a comparative study among four operational detectors that work by automatically post-processing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired from the satellite platforms RADARSAT-2 and COSMO-SkyMed. Challenging maritime scenarios have been chosen to assess the detectors' p...
