Water detection in SAR images has been widely used in water area mapping and monitoring flooding [1] [2]. However, two challenges exist in water detection in SAR images. First, due to changeable ocean climate, radar backscatte strength varies in the different regions of the same water, which causes error detection. Second, it is difficult to distinguish water from low gray vegetation and road network.
