Abstract: With the increasing city buildings, building detection based on synthetic aperture radar(SAR) images, as a branch of SAR image interpretation, has gradually become an important research topic. In this paper, the existing research methods are classified, and the existing building target detection algorithms of SAR images are sorted out from the perspective of building detection based on traditional methods and on deep learning. In addition, the characteristics of SAR images and the whole process of building detection task with SAR images are described. The methods based on modeling, texture features and machine learning, and the target detection method based on deep learning are introduced. Moreover, emphasis is placed on expounding the current mainstream detection methods based on candidate regions and regression. The advantages and limitations of various methods are compared and analyzed, main problems and development bottlenecks of the current building detection technology based on SAR images are summarized, and corresponding suggestions are put forward. Finally, the future research interests in this field are explored.
