In this regard, three renowned detection methods which are SVM, edge and corner detectors have implemented. They have been applied on an image independently, and then a combination between detected points have been made by sliding a 20×20 matrix. To decrease the false positives and to increase the efficiency of final detection results, connected component labelling has been applied to the output of each detector to eliminate small connected components. Testing the proposed method on two different databases of sea target images shows its efficiency in target detection.}, }
