Ship detection in optical remote sensing imagery has drawn much attention in recent years, especially with regards to the more challenging inshore ship detection. However, recent work on this subject relies heavily on hand-crafted features that require carefully tuned parameters and on complicated procedures. In this letter, we utilize a fully convolutional network (FCN) to tackle the problem of inshore ship detection and design a ship detection framework that possesses a more simplified procedure and a more robust performance. When tackling the ship detection problem with FCN, there are two major difficulties: 1) the long and thin shape of the ships and their arbitrary direction makes the objects extremely anisotropic and hard to be captured by network features and 2) ships can be closely docked side by side, which makes separating them difficult. Therefore, we implement a task partitioning model in the network, where layers at different depths are assigned different tasks. The deep layer in the network provides detection functionality and the shallow layer supplements with accurate localization. This approach mitigates the tradeoff of FCN between localization accuracy and feature representative ability, which is of importance in the detection of closely docked ships. The experiments demonstrate that this framework, with the advantages of FCN and the task partitioning model, provides robust and reliable inshore ship detection in complex contexts.
