Space-Time Adaptive Processing for Radar

: This report is a review of the publicly available literature on algorithms for detecting ships in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, with the aim of recommending algorithms for inclusion in the Analysts' Detection Support System (ADSS). The ADSS is a software system being developed at DSTO for the automatic detection of targets in SAR imagery. We outline the motivations, theory and justifications of the various approaches so that educated comparisons and evaluations can be made. Most current research on ship detection is based on detecting the ship itself rather than its wake. Detection of ship wakes is not addressed in any depth. Ship detection systems generally consist of several stages: land masking; preprocessing; prescreening; and discrimination. We consider each of these stages in turn and discuss the various algorithms which have been used. A basic system for low to medium resolution single channel SAR imagery is recommended and suggestions for improvements and alternatives are made.

Physical Principles of Remote Sensing

Bi- and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operates with distinct transmit and receive antennas that are mounted on separate platforms. Such a spatial separation has several operational advantages, which will increase the capability, reliability and flexibility of future SAR missions. Various spaceborne bi- and multistatic SAR configurations are introduced, and their potential for different applications such as frequent monitoring, wide-swath imaging, scene classification, single pass cross-track interferometry and resolution enhancement is compared. Furthermore, some major challenges such as phase and time synchronisation, bi- and multistatic SAR processing, satellite orbit selection and relative position sensing are addressed.
