Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image simulation is one of the potential tools to investigate the features of man-made objects in high resolution SAR image. In this paper, we present a SAR imaging simulator based on ray tracing for high frequency electromagnetic scattering prediction of complex objects. Input of the simulator is three dimensional (3D) model of an object, such as a building, vessel...
Vessel classification is an important part of global monitoring of maritime traffic and ocean environment. In high resolution SAR images, it is possible to recognize civilian vessels base on their features of back scattering and structure. This paper presents a vessel classification method that uses single-pol COSMO-SkyMed images to categorize vessel targets into three types, which include cargo vessels,...
Vessel detection becomes more and more important applications of remote sensing. In this paper, a vessel detection method based on gravity enhancement and multi-scale processing was applied to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. With the method, targets' pixels were enhanced by the interactions between themselves and their neighbors, while the speckle and background clutter were suppressed after...
This paper presents a two-stage vessel recognition method based on structure feature of high resolution TerraSAR-X image. The vessel contains two categories, tanker and cargo ship. According to the different ship structure, the tanker includes tube showing tanker and no tube showing tanker, and the cargo ship includes closed rail cargo ship and open rail cargo ship. Because closed rail cargo ship...
On May 12, 2008, Wenchuan earthquake (Ms 8.0) occurred in Sichuan, Southwestern China. This catastrophe caused severe damage of constructions in urban and rural areas, and fundamental infrastructure, such as those facilities of factories, electrical power, telecommunication and transportation, etc. The earthquake also resulted in many geological phenomena, i.e. landslide, debris flow, landslide lakes,...
