Abstract
A method and a system for object detection over water are provided. The method includes acquiring, from a storage system, image data associated with a target area. The image data includes radiance of a plurality of pixels in a first spectral band and in a second spectral band. The method also includes determining a metric corresponding to a pixel of the plurality of pixels as a function of the radiance in the first spectral band and the radiance in the second spectral band and detecting an object in the target area in response to a determination that the metric satisfies a criteria.
