Moving Targets Detection, Imaging and Full Velocity Vector Estimation Using a Single SAR Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method to determine the complete velocity vector of a moving target using a single Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor. The method exploits the structure of the returned echo from a moving target: in the slow-time frequency domain, it is a scaled and shifted replica of the antenna radiation pattern immersed in Gaussian noise; the scale and the shift are related with the slant-range and the cross-range velocities, respectively. A Bayesian approach is then adopted to derive an estimator for the velocity vector. Simulation results illustrating the estimator effectiveness are presented.

متن کاملMoving Target Detection on SAR Images
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a well known technique for generating high-resolution images stationary scenes but it is not adapted to imaging moving targets as the movement of a target induces both a delocalization and a defocusing effect in a SAR image. The aim of this paper is to analyse the signatures of moving targets in SAR images and to present techniques to detect them, from one sing...

| The paper presents a novel methodology for determining the velocity and location of multiple moving targets using a single stripmap synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor. The so-called azimuth position uncertainty problem is therefore solved. The method exploits the structure of the amplitude and phase modulations of the returned echo from a moving target in the Fourier domain. A crucial step...
