In this paper, we propose a polarimetric TomoSAR method with Wiener-SVD inversion and Gerschgorin Disks for different scattering mechanisms of each point. Seven images of RADARSAT-2 Fine Quad Mode have been used to validate the efficiency of the proposed method. The polarimetric analysis shows that more scattering points can be detected by the composition of different polarimetric bands, thus retrieving...
Ship wake detection can facilitate ship detection and ship motion parameters retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel constant false alarm rate (CFAR) ship wake detection algorithm in SAR images based on length normalized scan method. As we all know, range component of ship's movement leads to azimuth offset in SAR images. The start point of wake should be located near the ship in the azimuth...
The high-resolution images, acquired by the new SAR sensors, provide opportunities to detect changes more accurately. The traditional pixel-based change detection method cannot adapt to the change detection of objects in different spatial scales, especially in build-up area, which has strong speckle noise. Recently, Object-based image analysis provides a feasible idea to solve this. In this paper,...
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,...
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...
This paper presents a SAR image change detection algorithm for urban areas which mainly contains three steps: (i) modeling the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image by G0 distribution; (ii) generating a change map by computing the Kullback-Leibler divergence; (iii) masking the change map to obtain the final change areas. We propose to use the second kind statistics based parameter estimation method...
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,...
In this paper, we investigate a case-based reasoning (CBR) method for the classification of multi-temporal SAR images with the aid of ancillary information. Our scheme for the problem of multi-temporal SAR images classification comprises four main steps, including SAR image processing, construction of case library, case-based classification and post- classification processing. During the construction...
