Compression-Designs of SAR Imagery Used as Prior Knowledge
نویسنده
چکیده
The signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) performance of SAR imagery knowledge-aided (KA) airborne moving target indicator (AMTI) radar subjected to severely taxing environmental disturbances is investigated for radar-blind and radar-seeing highly compressed SAR imagery. Radar-seeing schemes are found to greatly outperform radar-blind techniques.

Segmentation and Compression of SAR Imagery via Hierarchical Stochastic Modelling
To abate the enormous costs incurred in the transmission and storage of SAR data, we present here a seg-mentation driven compression technique using hierarchical stochastic modeling within a multiscale framework. Our approach to SAR image compression is unique in that we exploit the multiscale stochastic structure inherent in SAR imagery. This structure is well captured by a set of scale auto-r...
متن کاملA Scattering Center Model for SAR Imagery∗
We present a high frequency model for scattering present in SAR imagery. The model retains dominant terms of the electromagnetic scattering response of canonical scattering objects using solutions from both Physical Optics and the Geometric Theory of Diffraction. Both frequency and aspect dependence of scattering centers are modeled. It is applicable to single polarization as well as multiple p...
متن کاملIntelligent compression of SAR imagery using multiresolution Markov models
We present a system for coding synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, whereby regions of interest and background information are coded independently of each other. A multiresolution constant-false-alarm-rate (CFAR) detection scheme is utilized to discriminate between target regions and natural clutter. Based upon the detected target regions, we apply less compression to targets, and more compr...
متن کاملHierarchical stochastic modeling of SAR imagery for segmentation/compression
There has recently been a growing interest in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging on account of its importance in a variety of applications. One attribute leading to its gain in popularity is its ability to image terrain at extraordinary rates. Acquiring data at such rates, however, has drawbacks in the form of exorbitant costs in data storage and transmission over relatively slow channels; ...
متن کاملAn Automatic Ship Detection Method Based on Local Gray-Level Gathering Characteristics in SAR Imagery
This paper proposes an automatic ship detection method based on gray-level gathering characteristics of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The method does not require any prior knowledge about ships and background observation. It uses a novel local gray-level gathering degree (LGGD) to characterize the spatial intensity distribution of SAR image, and then an adaptive-like LGGD thresholding...
