摘要

Ship detection represents a significant application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology. Despite its advantages, SAR-based ship detection models face challenges due to unique imaging characteristics, including substantial scattering noise and arbitrary ship orientations. To address these issues, we propose Enhanced rotating ship Detection in SAR Images via Noise Suppression and Feature Amplification (NSFA-Net) for rotating SAR ship image detection. NSFA-Net introduces a frequency domain attention module to highlight foreground targets and suppress background noise, enabling the construction of an effective feature extraction network. An optimized aggregation network-GR is employed to mitigate redundant noise generated during feature fusion. Furthermore, an edge-aware detection head is designed to produce feature maps with clearer contour information, facilitating accurate target localization. By incorporating the rotation angle into the regression parameters and establishing a multi-parameter joint regression loss, our method achieves average accuracies of 94.23% and 81.10% on the SSDD+ and HRSID datasets, respectively, outperforming other SAR ship detection methods.
