In this paper, according to the phenomenon that the retina will strongly respond to large contrast visual stimulation and the generation mechanism of visual information in the primary visual cortex, we propose a method generating saliency map and detecting ship objects in satellite optical images. The method can detect significant contrast objects without considering the shape, edge or other forms of prior knowledge of the objects. In ship detection experiment, the results show the detection method based on visual contrast can effectively concentrate on the objects with greater contrast and achieve good detection results.
