Synthetic Aperture Radar: Principles and Applications of AI in Automatic Target Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of detection, imaging and automatic target recognition of moving targets using synthetic aperture radar. The challenge in processing moving targets is addressed with special emphasis on the blind angle ambiguity and on the maximum unambiguous moving target velocity. It is shown that both ambiguities can be solved by including information about the antenna radiation pattern. This information is crucial to obtain focused images of moving targets in order to perform automatic target recognition. Some methodologies using artificial intelligence tools to perform automatic target recognition are presented.

Speckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...
