Synthetic Aperture Radar Ship Detection Using Modified Gamma Fisher Metric
نویسنده
چکیده
This article proposes a novel ship detection method for high-resolution SAR images. Our goal is to look at this question from a information geometry point of view. The method consists of two steps: construction of revised metric and Riemann structure, and extraction of targets. For the first step of the process, a revised metric is introduced on Gamma 2-manifold. We construct a special Riemannian structure by using the proposed metric. For the second step, the regions of interest (ROIs) are extracted out based on the Riemann structure. Experimental results of the detection method on SAR images show that the algorithm presented is effective.

متن کاملRemoval of azimuth ambiguities and detection of a ship: using polarimetric airborne C-band SAR images
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from the sea can contain ships and their ambiguities. The ambiguities are visually identifiable due to their high intensities in the low radar backscatter background of sea environments and can be mistaken as ships, resulting in false alarms in ship detection. Analysing polarimetric characteristics of ships and ambiguities, we found that (a) backscattering...
متن کاملSynthetic Aperture Radar for Maritime Domain Awarness: Ship Detection in a South African Context
Maritime Domain Awareness is an initiative started to help each sea-bordering country improve its understanding of its Exclusive Economic Zone. A country that improves its Maritime Domain Awareness ensures that activities such as piracy and Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing are identified more quickly and the appropriate actions for each are taken. For instance, having better awarenes...
متن کاملShip Detection in SAR Imagery
Abstract---As a part of Maritime Domain Awareness, there is a requirement to detect ships in satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, which provide wide area ocean surveillance. When ship detection is implemented using a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR), statistical theory can be employed to ensure that proper parameters are used to find the thresholds for detection; inaccuracy ...
