Object-Oriented Ship Detection from VHR Satellite Images

in

Within today's security environment and with increasing worldwide travel and transport of dangerous goods the need of vessel traffic services, ship routing and monitoring of ship movements on sea and along coastlines becomes more time consuming and an important responsibility for coastal authorities. This paper describes the architecture of a ship detection prototype based on an object-oriented methodology to support these monitoring tasks.
