Real-time realization of infrared ship detection with an attention mechanism

With the help of attention mechanism, small target pre-detection can improve the efficiency of detection, and along with the waterline detection, the judgment of whether IR ship targets exist can be made. In this paper, the ability of parallel computation of pre-detection is analyzed. Starting from two points: the balance between communication cost and parallel computation and the efficiency of utilization of the system resources, how to divide the computation task is under consideration, so as to be adapted to pipeline structure and parallel structure to get the best performance. Also, the performance of the algorithm in different size images is investigated. At the end of the paper, experiments are used to prove that the analysis in this paper can provide guidelines of the real-time realization of the algorithm.
