Abstract
This paper proposes an automatic ship detection approach in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Images using YOLO deep learning framework. The You Only Look Once (YOLO) model was initially introduced as the first object detection model that combined bounding box prediction and objects classification into a single end-to-end differentiable network. We train the YOLO model on our dataset in this paper for our detector to learn to detect objects in SAR images such as ships. YOLO test results showed an increase in the accuracy of ship detection at Cyprus's Coast and can be applied in the field of ship detection.
