Abstract

The object detection in satellite imagery has garnered considerable attention due to its extensive real-world applications and the inherent challenges it presents, including noise, fluctuating image quality, and intricate backgrounds. This paper proposed a framework for object detection that combines image enhancement and Deep Learning (DL) to make detection more accurate. First, a Gabor filter is used to process the input image to bring out important features and reduce noise. Then, normalization is applied to make sure that the data is evenly distributed so that the model works properly. After that, a model based on YOLOv11 is used to quickly learn and find object features. The proposed method achieves a mAP of 95%, precision of 97%, recall of 85%, and F1-score of 91%, which demonstrates the superior aircraft detection performance. These results show the framework accurately identify aircraft in satellite imagery and is suitable for real-time applications such as surveillance, air traffic monitoring and remote sensing analysis.
