An automatic approach to ship detection in spaceborne synthetic aperture radar imagery: an assessment of ship detection capability using RADARSAT
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/12)This report describes a methodology for automated ship and wake detection in space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The methodology incorporates a multistage approach involving several algorithms which can ... -
Multiple Bayesian extended target tracking
(CMRE, 2019/06)To track an extended target presents challenges because the hypothesis of "one target means one detection" is not valid. Several approaches to extended target tracking (ETT) have been found promising, and in particular ... -
Noise measurements during MAPEX 2000
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/03)During MAPEX2000 some simultaneous ambient noise measurements with an HLA and satellite SAR images were collected. The aim was to predict shipping and wind noise from the satellite radar and to compare results with acoustic ... -
On the applicability of satellite-borne SAR imagery to coastal oceanography
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have been acquired from the first European Space Agency (ESA) remote sensing satellite ERS- 1. The mesoscale feature images are from Norwegian coastal waters and the Mediterranean (Elba ... -
Performance assessment of vessel dynamic models for long-term prediction using heterogeneous data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Ship traffic monitoring is a foundation for many maritime security domains, and monitoring system specifications underscore the necessity to track vessels beyond territorial waters. However, vessels in open seas are seldom ... -
Remote sensing of topographically-induced upwelling in the southern coastal region of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/09)Upwelling signatures caused by variations in bottom topography along the southeastern Sicilian coast are identified, using spaceborne remote sensing Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, ERS-1 and ...
