Abstract :
This paper deals with the problem of OOI detection on the sea surface, based on the definition of proper texture parameters. As the sea texture exhibits a variable nature, the classical algorithms, tailored to work in presence of a specific textured background, can not be applied. However they can be seen as possible components of a hierarchical algorithm, taking into account the variability of the sea texture. In this paper an algorithm (called OBI-FINDER), with these characteristics, is described, and some results are shown
