Traditional ship identification systems have difficulty in identifying illegal or broken ships, but the wakes generated by ships can be used as a major feature for identification. However, multi-ship and multi-scale wake detection is also a big challenge. This paper combines the geometric and pixel characteristics of ships and their wakes in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and proposes a method for multi-ship and multi-scale wake detection. This method first detects the highlight pixel area in the image and then generates specific windows around the centroid, thereby detecting wakes of different sizes in different areas. In addition, all wake components can be located completely based on wake clustering, the statistical features of wake axis pixels can be used to determine the visible length of the wake. Test results on the Gaofen-3 SAR image show the special potential of the method for wake detection.

Fuzzy C-Means is an unsupervised clustering algorithm for the automatic clustering of data. Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Segmentation has been a challenging task because of the presence of speckle noise. Therefore the segmentation process can not directly rely on the intensity information alone but must consider several derived features in order to get satisfactory segmentation results. In this paper, it is attempted to use the fuzzy nature of classification for the purpose of unsupervised region segmentation in which FCM is employed. Different features are obtained by filtering of the image by using different spatial filters and are selected for segmentation criteria. The segmentation performance is determined by the accuracy compared with a different state of the art techniques proposed recently.
