This paper proposes a new method for automatic ship targets detection in remote sensing images. The method uses adaptive segmentation algorithm for getting possible ship targets first, and then calculates Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature to extract the structural information of ships, followed by supervised learning algorithm to identify the possible ship targets. Multi-scale sliding-window is used to handle targets with different scales. The experimental results prove that this new method has a good precision and robustness for most of the ship targets and give attention to the efficiency.
