R&D Activities in Airborne SAR Image Processing/Analysis at Lockheed Martin Canada
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give an overview of some R&D projects in SAR imagery at Lockheed Martin Canada. These projects are motivated by airborne surveillance applications such as the landmass and coastal surveillance missions of the Canadian CP-140 (Aurora) aircraft. The activities reviewed here are 1) R&D supports to CP-140 Spotlight SAR upgrade, 2) fast multiresolution prescreening filter for CFAR detection, 3) comparison of traditional and wavelet-based speckle filters and 4) high-level ship classification in high-resolution SAR imagery.

Multiresolution Analysis of Sar Images
SAR images have shown to be of high complexity and to require dedicated processing techniques. This paper presents two applications of the wavelet and multiresolution theory to the enhancement and characterization of SAR data. The rst application describes an improved method for speckle reduction. The second method uses a fractal-based texture measure to provide elements for SAR image segmentat...
متن کاملSAR image processing using probabilistic winner-take-all learning and artificial neural networks
This paper develops a two-stage approach for the identii-cation of ship targets in airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery representing open ocean scenes. The rst stage of the developed approach segments the SAR image using a novel neural clustering scheme, called "probabilis-tic winner-take-all (PWTA)." As for the second stage, it employs a backpropagation (BP) neural network to classi...
متن کاملNon Ideal Motion in Airborne Sar: Analysis and Compensation
Motion compensation is an important part of SAR processing for high resolution air borne imaging sensors. The non ideal motion of the platform carrying radar, results in degraded image quality. This paper concerns the analysis and compensation of trajectory deviations in airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems. Analysis of the received data spectrum is carried out with respect to the sy...
متن کاملPalarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Classification using Bag of Visual Words Algorithm
Land cover is defined as the physical material of the surface of the earth, including different vegetation covers, bare soil, water surface, various urban areas, etc. Land cover and its changes are very important and influential on the Earth and life of living organisms, especially human beings. Land cover change monitoring is important for protecting the ecosystem, forests, farmland, open spac...
متن کاملNew processing approach and results for bistatic TerraSAR-X/F-SAR spaceborne-airborne SAR experiments
In November 2007, the first bistatic SAR spaceborne-airborne X-band campaign was carried out , using TerraSAR-X as transmitter and DLR’s new airborne SAR system F-SAR as receiver [1]. The importance of the experiment was not only due to its pioneering character, but also to its potential to serve as a test-bed for the validation of non-stationary bistatic acquisition procedures, novel calibrati...
