SAR Moving Objects Trajectory Estimation: Solving the Blind Angle Ambiguity with a Single Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Fisher information matrix for the unknown moving targets velocity parameters is computed as function of the antenna radiation pattern. The resultant matrix is analysed and the characteristics that the antenna gain should exhibit in order to enhance the estimation of the unknown moving objects velocity vector are deduced. Simulation results comparing the various antenna radiation patterns envisioning the velocity vector estimation using a single SAR sensor are presented.

Moving Target Detection and Trajectory Estimation Using SAR Data
Conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar processing leads to moving targets being imaged displaced from their real positions and blurred. This is mainly due to the used reference phase no longer being valid, including an additional Doppler-shift and a Doppler-spread. Since these effects are not considered in the focusing algorithm, the resulting SAR image shows the moving targets defocused and/or ...

| 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...

In this paper, we study the problem of power efficient tracking interval management for distributed target tracking wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first analyze the performance of a distributed target tracking network with one moving object, using a quantitative mathematical analysis. We show that previously proposed algorithms are efficient only for constant average velocity objects howev...

At the German Aerospace Center, DLR, an automatic and operational traffic processor for the TerraSAR-X ground segment is currently under development. The processor comprises the detection of moving objects on ground, their correct assignment to the road network, and the estimation of their velocities. Since traffic flow parameters are required for describing dynamics and efficiency of transport...
