Abstract

Sea-land segmentation is a key pre-processing step for ship detection from optical remote sensing imagery. Because of waves, illumination and shadows, conventional sea-land segmentation algorithms usually confuse between land and sea. Thus, a new maximum entropy segmentation scheme based on an adaptive threshold is proposed in this paper. Experimental results show that our algorithm has better accuracy compared to many traditional algorithms such as conventional maximum entropy algorithm, Otsu algorithm and bimodal histogram algorithm.
