A computer-based algorithm for ship and ship wake detection in SAR imagery is being developed to monitor ship traffic near Singapore waters. This paper presents current progress made on the algorithm. In particular, issues on the elimination of false targets are addressed. The morphological filter, half Radon (Hough) transform, and other wake criterion tests are applied to strengthen the detecting capability.
