In order to detect ship effectively

gravitational field based enhancement of ship targets was used to calculate textural and spectral index. Based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) method

the accurate relationship between space exploration information and ground objects was examined using the Tiangong-1 hyperspectral data

and used in the ships detection experiments. Results show that the ship objects can be effectively detected from the Tiangong-1 hyperspectral data against the sea water background. However

it is quite difficult to recognize the ship types from the imagery. The automatic segmentation of Tiangong-1 hyperspectral imagery is very important for ships detection. Multispectral and high resolution of the sensor is one of a main future study direction.
