Abstract

Monitoring and identification of ships in remote sensing images is of great significance for port management, marine traffic, marine security, etc. However, due to small size and complex background, ship detection in remote sensing images is still a challenging task. Currently, deep-learning-based detection models need a lot of data and manual annotation, while training data containing ships in remote sensing images may be in limited quantities. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a few-shot multi-class ship detection algorithm with attention feature map and multi-relation detector (AFMR) for remote sensing images. We use the basic framework of You Only Look Once (YOLO), and use the attention feature map module to enhance the features of the target. In addition, the multi-relation head module is also used to optimize the detection head of YOLO. Extensive experiments on publicly available HRSC2016 dataset and self-constructed REMEX-FSSD dataset validate that our method achieves a good detection performance.
