چکیده
Rising interest in traffic monitoring applications motivate the analysis of TerraSAR-X data for traffic monitoring applications. In order to sidestep the limitations of the TerraSAR-X sensor, this paper examines a new approach to improve detection using a priori information. Using Monte-Carlo Simulation the possibility of improving detection with ATI is demonstrated.

Performance Analysis of Spaceborne Sar Vehicle Detection and Velocity Estimation
With TerraSAR-X and RADARSAT-2, two dual-channel SAR satellites will be launched in the next months. Both sensors allow for detecting moving objects, and, by this, enable traffic monitoring from space. This paper revises the theoretical background of traffic monitoring with space-based SARs and presents concepts for the TerraSAR-X traffic monitoring system. Compared to previous work an extensiv...
متن کاملEstimation of along-track velocity of road vehicles in SAR data
At the German Aerospace Center, DLR, an automatic and operational traffic processor for the TerraSAR-X ground segment is currently under development. The processor comprises the detection of moving objects on ground, their correct assignment to the road network, and the estimation of their velocities. Since traffic flow parameters are required for describing dynamics and efficiency of transport...
متن کاملA Priori Knowledge Based GMTI Algorithm For Traffic Monitoring Applications
In the paper a ground moving target indication and parameter estimation algorithm applicable on singleas well as on multi-channel airborne synthetic aperture radar data is presented. The algorithm is based on a priori knowledge and operates directly on range-compressed data. Only the intersection points of the moving vehicle signals with the a priori known road axes, which are mapped into the r...
متن کاملOil Reservoirs Classification Using Fuzzy Clustering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...
متن کاملDevelopment of a GMTI Processing System for the Extraction of Traffic Information from TerraSAR-X Data
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a day-and-night and all-weather operating capability, can acquire highresolution images of large areas within short time frames and can measure the speed of moving objects. That is why its application to ground moving target indication (GMTI) and to traffic monitoring has been intensively investigated in the recent years. The German SAR satellite TerraSAR-X, w...
