A novel threshold template algorithm for ship detection in high-resolution SAR images

TL;DR: A new threshold template algorithm is presented in this paper to improve the performance in ship detection in high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by exploiting the relationship between neighbor pixels, which characterise high- resolution images.

Progressive space frequency quantization for SAR data compression

TL;DR: The authors propose a new wavelet image coding technique for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data compression called a progressive space-frequency quantization (PSFQ), which performs spatial quantization via rate distortion-optimized zerotree pruning of wavelet coefficients that are coded using a progressive subband coding technique.

Soil Moisture Inversion Via Semiempirical and Machine Learning Methods With Full-Polarization Radarsat-2 and Polarimetric Target Decomposition Data: A Comparative Study

TL;DR: In this article, surface soil moisture was retrieved from Radarsat-2 and polarimetric target decomposition data by using semiempirical models and machine learning methods and the results indicated that the machine learning techniques performed much better than the semiemirical models.

Land contained sea area ship detection using spaceborne image

TL;DR: This letter proposes a ship detection for the land contained sea area with a CNN based classifier to separate false alarms from ship object and a pooling utilization type called “max-mean pooling” is proposed.
