英文摘要	This letter presents a novel method for ship classification that uses synthetic-aperture-radar images to distinguish ships based on superstructure scattering features. The ratio of dimensions, which combines the 2-D and 3-D properties of scattering, is explored as an effective and credible means to describe the scattering features of ships. The proposed method consists of three main stages: 1) ship isolation from the sea; 2) parametric vector (F) estimation; and 3) categorization using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. To depict ship features more accurately and reduce feature redundancy, we propose employing peak extraction to divide a ship into bow, middle, and stern instead of into three equal parts. The classification method is tested with RadarSat-2 images, and ground-truth information is supplied by an automatic identification system. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve satisfactory ship-classification performance compared with existing methods, with an overall accuracy exceeding 80%.
