Microwave Imaging Using SAR
Authors
Abstract:
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. First of all, the color coded images of each of the quantities of H, A and αare extracted and then having the matrix associated with each image and evaluating its histogram, we could obtain the image parameter values corresponding to each interval related to each color code. Then in the output the combination of parameters and the sharing of their images of each frame are extracted and compared with optical images and the extracted satellite map of scattered fields. Results for unconventional targets such as random rough surfaces has indicated that mechanism of scattering irregularities and improper alignment can be used for different purposes in different parts of the frame with fixed values that can be a new method for identifying targets. To make a look up table it is essentially required to evaluate the target parameters and classification of radar images. The method of the extraction of these parameters and applying them on imaging radar systems is exclusive. To validate our work, Pol. SAR data sets are used.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment and a patients long term health. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Microwave imaging is a technique that uses wide bandwidth electromagnetic signals to see through the internal structure of the breast. It detects and localizes cancer tumors based on the high dielectric...
full textUltrawideband Microwave Sensing and Imaging Using
This paper provides an overview of some time-reversal (TR) techniques for remote sensing and imaging using ultrawideband (UWB) electromagnetic signals in the microwave and millimeter wave range. The TR techniques explore the TR invariance of the wave equation in lossless and stationary media. They provide superresolution and statistical stability, and are therefore quite useful for a number of ...
full textNumerical simulations of SAR microwave imaging of the Brazil current surface front
This paper analyzes the hydrodynamic and atmospheric instability modulation mechanisms which influence the Brazilian Current's (BC) thermal front signature in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Simulations were made using the M4S SAR imaging model. Two SAR images of the Brazilian Southeastern Coast depicting the BC's thermal front were selected including a VV (ASAR/Envisat) and a HH polariz...
full textWide Angle SAR Imaging
We consider imaging strategies for synthetic aperture radar data collections that span a wide angular aperture. Most traditional radar imaging techniques are predicated on the assumption of isotropic point scattering mechanisms, which does not hold for wide apertures. We investigate point scattering center images for narrowband, wide angle data, and consider the effect of limited persistence on...
full textRecursive SAR Imaging
We investigate a recursive procedure for synthetic aperture imaging. We consider a concept in which a SAR system persistently interrogates a scene, for example as it flies along or around that scene. In traditional SAR imaging, the radar measurements are processed in blocks, by partitioning the data into a set of non-overlapping or overlapping azimuth angles, then processing each block. We cons...
