Development of a GMTI Processing System for the Extraction of Traffic Information from TerraSAR-X Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a day-and-night and all-weather operating capability, can acquire highresolution images of large areas within short time frames and can measure the speed of moving objects. That is why its application to ground moving target indication (GMTI) and to traffic monitoring has been intensively investigated in the recent years. The German SAR satellite TerraSAR-X, which is scheduled to be launched later in 2006, will provide various SAR imaging modes with resolutions down to 1m. It will additionally allow for different operating modes for along-track interferometry (ATI) which is sensitive to across-track motions of moving objects. This paper introduces a first approach for the concept of a traffic information extraction processor for TerraSAR-X data.

TerraSAR-X Dual Receive Antenna Mode - Channel Reconstruction and Impact on the GMTI Performance
Synthetic aperture radar with multiple channels separated in along-track direction allows for GMTI such as detection of road traffic [1]. With TerraSAR-X two receive channels separated in along-track direction can either be realized through switching between the fore and aft antenna halves from pulse to pulse, or with the dual receive antenna (DRA) mode [2]. While the switching in the single ch...

With the amount of traffic increasing steadily, traffic monitoring has evolved to an important topic of research. Most of the conventional systems for traffic monitoring lack of spatial extent. Hence traffic monitoring from space provides an attractive alternative to supplement existing systems. The upcoming TerraSAR-X Mission with its experimental dual-receive mode will contribute to this rese...
