Localization of Piecewise Curvilinearly Moving Targets Using Azimuth and Azimuth Rates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detailed knowledge of the estimation performance for passive tracking of maneuvering targets is of fundamental interest. Therefore, the maximum achievable localization accuracy for maneuvering targets from azimuth measurements as well as from combined azimuth and azimuth rate measurements are calculated in this paper. These targets perform a piecewise curvilinear motion with an unknown number of maneuvers at unknown times. It is proven that in addition to the azimuth angles also azimuth rates contain valuable information about the kinematics of maneuvering targets that can be exploited with advantage for state estimation.

Position correction of moving targets in SAR-imagery
Standard SAR-processing methods are based upon the assumption of a static scene. If targets are moving, their positions in the SAR-image are translated in azimuth and defocusing may occur. In this paper, some methods for the detection and imaging of moving targets and the estimation of their real positions are discussed, such as monopulse and DPCA. Experimental results are shown on correction o...
متن کاملImaging of fast moving targets using undersampled SAR raw-data
In this paper we propose a novel methodology to estimate the true velocity of fast moving targets using a single synthetic aperture radar sensor without increasing the Pulse Repetition Frequency. The basic reasoning is that, although the returned echoes may be aliased in the azimuth direction, its phase is informative with respect to the moving target trajectory parameters. We will use this kno...
متن کاملInvestigation of Azimuth Multichannel Reconstruction for Moving Targets in High Resolution Wide Swath SAR
The azimuth multichannel imaging scheme with the large receive antenna divided into multiple sub-apertures usually leads to azimuth non-uniform sampling, and echoes from all azimuth channels should be reconstructed based on the signal model before conventional SAR imaging. Unfortunately, the multichannel signal model of a moving target is different from that of a fixed target. This paper analyz...

Signal and noise of an underwater moving sound source is used to track the azimuth of a target. Uniform linear array with four hydrophones is used to detect azimuth of target by obtain the time delay information to get azimuth information. Success rate of time delay estimation influenced by characteristics of sound propagation like reflection, reverberation, etc. Experiment in real environment ...
