An Overview of Automatic Target Detection (ATD) algorithms in SAR Image
نویسندگان
چکیده
Target detection is a conventional problem for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image. The technology of target detection is very useful in striking military targets, such as ship, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, trucks, bulldozers, cannon and howitzers. Discriminating target from clutter is a challenging task in Automatic target detection (ATD) problem. Different types of clutter and their distribution model are discussed in this work. After many decades of research, robust target detection algorithm still remains a highly challenging task. In this paper a review of the techniques used to solve the Automatic target detection problem is given.

This paper introduces a novel speckle reduction method based on thresholding the wavelet coeecients of the logarithmically transformed image. The method is computational eecient and can signiicantly reduce the speckle while preserving the resolution of the original image. Both soft and hard thresholding schemes are studied and the results are compared. When fully polarimetric SAR images are ava...

متن کاملRegion Based Target Detection Approach for Synthetic Aperture Radar Images and Its Parallel Implementation
Automatic target detection (ATD) methods for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery are sensitive to image resolution, target size, clutter complexity, and speckle noise level. However, a robust ATD method needs to be less sensitive to the above factors. In this study, a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) based method is proposed which can perform target detection independent of image resolution ...
متن کامل(Automatic) target detection in synthetic aperture radar imagery via terrain recognition
Surveillance of large areas of the Earths surface is often undertaken with low resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from either a satellite or a plane. There is a need to process these images with automatic target detection (ATD) algorithms. Typically the targets being searched for are vehicles or small vessels, which occupy only a few resolution cells. Simple thresholding is usual...
