The horizon line is a valuable feature in the maritime environment as it has a high persistence when compared to other features (e.g., shore corners, waves). It is used in several applications, especially in maritime surveillance. The task of horizon detection may be easy for humans, but it is hard on computers due to the high change of color and texture on maritime scenes. Moreover, the computational complexity is an important constraint to take into account while developing the algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new method that we expect to enhance the state-of-the-art.
