Absolute Ranging for Maritime Applications using TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SAR geolocation accuracy using TerraSAR and TanDEM-X data has been demonstrated to be into centimeter level with no need of any reference frame. This paper is intended to show potential applications over maritime scenarios based on precise absolute measurements. Two specific applications are discussed and analyzed. The first one is to measure ships 2D velocity using TanDEM-X products. The second application is monitoring possible offshore platforms displacements using TerraSAR and TanDEM-X data.

Comparison of using single- or multi-polarimetric TerraSAR-X images for segmentation and classification of man-made maritime objects
Spaceborne SAR imagery offers high capability for wide-ranging maritime surveillance especially in situations, where AIS (Automatic Identification System) data is not available. Therefore, maritime objects have to be detected and optional information such as size, orientation, or object/ship class is desired. In recent research work, we proposed a SAR processing chain consisting of pre-processi...
متن کاملTomographic Sar Inversion from Mixed Repeat- and Single-pass Data Stacks – the Terrasar-x/tandem-x Case
This paper presents the first demonstration of high precision very high resolution tomographic SAR inversion with the assistance of TanDEM-X data. The data quality of TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X is investigated. TomoSAR algorithms such as SVD-Wiener, Nonlinear Least Squares and SL1MMER are extended for mixed repeatand single-pass data stacks. A systematic approach is proposed for the fusion of Terr...

High resolution remote sensing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from TerraSAR-X/Tandem-X satellites are used to determine and monitor the sea surface in near real time and all weather and illumination conditions. The radar backscatter of the sea surface is determined by the sea surface roughness caused by the wind field and the sea state. These meteo parameters are modelled by the newly deve...

TanDEM-X is a German Public Private Partnership project between DLR and EADS Astrium for a novel satellite constellation based on TerraSAR-X with the goal to generate a global digital elevation model (DEM) according to the HRTI-3 standard, i.e. 10 m horizontal spacing and 1-2 meter vertical accuracy. TerraSAR-X is a civil German X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite to be launched in ...
متن کاملWaterline Detection and Monitoring in the German Wadden Sea Using High Resolution Satellite-based Radar Measurements
High resolution TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X as well as Sentinel-1 remote sensing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are used to determine and monitor the waterline in the Wadden Sea. In this very unique and dynamic coastal region in the southeastern North Sea, tidal flats extend several kilometers away from the coast during low tide with features like tidal inlets and sand banks. Under the influence o...
