Ship detection based on video is important in the application of surveillance and marine safety, the detection results
of tradition methods, such as background subtraction, have much noise because of background noise such as ocean
wave. In this paper we present a simple but efficient method for ship detection, It is based on the edge information of
single image and movement information of multi images. Firstly, detect those movement pixels used the background
subtraction to the video image, and the distance transformation is operation on the difference images; Secondly, we
detect the edge of video image used Canny detector , and morphological operation on the edge image, lastly,
eliminate the movement pixels if their distance transformation value is bigger than the threshold. The experimental
results demonstrate that is efficient to eliminate the background noise and detect the real target.
