In recent years, numerous detectors based on deep learning have achieved good performance in the field of SAR ship detection. However, ship targets of the same type always have various representations in SAR images under different imaging conditions, while different types of ships may have a high degree of similarity, which considerably complicates SAR target recognition. Meanwhile, the ship target in the SAR image is also obscured by background and noise. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel oriented ship detection method in SAR images named SPG-OSD. First, we propose an oriented two-stage detection module based on the scattering characteristics. Second, to reduce false alarms and missing ships, we improve the performance of the network by incorporating SAR scattering characteristics in the first stage of the detector. A scattering-point-guided region proposal network (RPN) is designed to predict possible key scattering points and make the regression and classification stages of RPN increase attention to the vicinity of key scattering points and reduce attention to background and noise. Third, supervised contrastive learning is introduced to alleviate the problem of minute discrepancies among SAR object classes. Region-of-Interest (RoI) contrastive loss is proposed to enhance inter-class distinction and diminish intra-class variance. Extensive experiments are conducted on the SAR ship detection dataset from the Gaofen-3 satellite, and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of SPG-OSD and show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15051411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]],"date-time":"2023-03-03T01:43:00Z","timestamp":1677807780000},"page":"1411","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Scattering-Point-Guided RPN for Oriented Ship Detection in SAR Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yipeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzhou Key Laboratory of Microwave Imaging, Processing and Application Technology, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Suzhou Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5965-4779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongdong","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzhou Key Laboratory of Microwave Imaging, Processing and Application Technology, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Suzhou Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou 215128, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8517-3415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaolan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzhou Key Laboratory of Microwave Imaging, Processing and Application Technology, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Suzhou Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Microwave Imaging Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzhou Key Laboratory of Microwave Imaging, Processing and Application Technology, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Suzhou Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou 215128, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Snapir, B., Waine, T.W., and Biermann, L.
