Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an active earth observation system with a certain surface penetration capability and can be employed to observations all-day and all-weather. Ship detection using SAR is of great significance to maritime safety and port management. With the wide application of in-depth learning in ordinary images and good results, an increasing number of detection algorithms began entering the field of remote sensing images. SAR image has the characteristics of small targets, high noise, and sparse targets. Two-stage detection methods, such as faster regions with convolution neural network (Faster RCNN), have good results when applied to ship target detection based on the SAR graph, but their efficiency is low and their structure requires many computing resources, so they are not suitable for real-time detection. One-stage target detection methods, such as single shot multibox detector (SSD), make up for the shortage of the two-stage algorithm in speed but lack effective use of information from different layers, so it is not as good as the two-stage algorithm in small target detection. We propose the two-way convolution network (TWC-Net) based on a two-way convolution structure and use multiscale feature mapping to process SAR images. The two-way convolution module can effectively extract the feature from SAR images, and the multiscale mapping module can effectively process shallow and deep feature information. TWC-Net can avoid the loss of small target information during the feature extraction, while guaranteeing good perception of a large target by the deep feature map. We tested the performance of our proposed method using a common SAR ship dataset SSDD. The experimental results show that our proposed method has a higher recall rate and precision, and the F-Measure is 93.32%. It has smaller parameters and memory consumption than other methods and is superior to other methods.
