Abstract: Ship detection task faces some challenging problems, such as the changeable environment, long-distance small target, poor real-time performance. Compared with other algorithms, the advanced capability of YOLOv3 with backbone network Darknet-53 is analyzed, and a method of real-time ship monitoring and recognition based on YOLOv3 is put forward. Also for some difficult cases, the samples are further trained. So the mean average precision in these difficult cases are improved, and higher robustness is obtained. It is illustrated by the experimental data that the mean average precision of single class is up to 91.82%. The method can work as a support system for ship intelligent driving.

Key words: ship recognition, YOLOv3, further training, ship intelligent driving, real-time monitoring
