Preliminary results are reported on ship detection using coherence images computed from cross-correlating images of multi-look-processed dual-polarization data (HH and HV) of ENVISAT ASAR. The traditional techniques of ship detection by radars such as CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) rely on the amplitude data, and therefore the detection tends to become difficult when the amplitudes of ships images are at similar level as the mean amplitude of surrounding sea clutter. The proposed method utilizes the property that the multi-look images of ships are correlated with each other. Because the inter-look images of sea surface are covered by uncorrelated speckle, cross-correlation of multi-look images yields the different degrees of coherence between the images and water. In this paper, the polarimetric information of ships, land and intertidal zone are first compared based on the cross-correlation between HH and HV images, In the next step, we examine the technique when the dual-polarization data are split into two multi-look images, It was shown that the inter-look cross-correlation method could be applicable in the performance improvement of small ship detection and the land masking, It was also found that a simple combination of coherence images from each co-polarised (HH) inter-look and cross-polarised (HV) inter-look data can provide much higher target-detection possibilities.

본 논문은 위성 탑재 합성개구 레이더 영상에서 중요한 지리적 특징점인 도로를 검출하는 기법을 제시한다. 도로에 대한 모델로서 snake를 사용하였고, 이 snake의 외부 에너지를 도로의 특성에 맞도록 새롭게 정의 하였다. 레이더 영상만을 사용할 경우 도로를 검출하는 것이 매우 어려우므로 다른 정보가 필요하다. 우리는 디지털 지도를 이용하여 snake의 위치와 형태를 초기화하는데 사용하였다. 레이더 영상에 나타나는 도로의 지리적 위치는 지형부호화(geocoding)를 통해서 대략적으로만 알 수 있고, 보통의 디지털 지도는 정확도가 낮아서 두 데이터 사이에는 큰 오차가 존재한다. 초기 매칭(matching) 과정을 통하여 이 오차를 매우 줄이고, 디지털 지도에서 추출한 도로를 이용하여 snake의 형태를 초기화한 후 에너지를 최소화함으로써 도로를 검출한다. 도로 검출시에 나타나는 대표적이 두 가지 문제점을 제시하고 이 문제점을 완화시키는 방법을 제안하였다.

지상 이동표적 탐지(gorund moving target indicator: GMTI)는 지상의 교통 통제등을 목적으로 하며, 주로 합성 개구면 레이다(synthetic aperture radar: SAR) 시스템을 이용하여 짧은 시간에 넓은 지형에 대하여 효율적인 이동표적 탐지를 수행한다. 특히 displaced phase center antenna(DPCA) 방법과 along track interferometry(ATI) 방법을 이용한 이동 표적 탐지는 적은 계산량에 의해서 실시간 GMTI에 적합한 탐지방법으로 많이 사용되고 있으나 높은 오경보율을 갖는 한계가 있으며 이를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 DPCA 및 ATI의 결합을 이용한 병렬 결합 및 직렬 결합이동 표적 탐지 방법을 제안하고, 제안하는 이동 표적 탐지 방법이 낮은 오경보율의 향상된 탐지성능을 가진 것을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 특히 직렬결합을 이용한 이동 표적 탐지는 기존 DPCA의 오경보율과 비교하여 1/5수준의 오경보율을 가지며, 탐지율도 향상된 것을 볼 수 있다.

Bistatic spotlight synthetic aperture radar(BSSAR) with single track configuration uses the transmitter and the receiver which travel along the single track such as the leader-follower. For the BSSAR imaging, we modify the range migration algorithm. In time domain, we make the monostatic SAR using shifting of path, Then, in frequency domain, we compensate the separated distance between the scene center and the flight path using the principle of the stationary phase (PSP).

Recent SAR systems provide fully polarimetric SAR data, which is known to be useful in a variety of applications such as disaster monitoring, target recognition, and land cover classification. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of polarization SAR data for landslide detection. The detectability of different SAR parameters was investigated based on the supervised classification approach. The classifier used in this study is the Adaptive Boosting algorithms. A fully polarimetric L-band PALSAR-2 data was used to examine landslides caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake in Kyushu, Japan. Experimental results show that fully polarimetric features from the target decomposition technique can provide improved detectability of landslide site with significant reduction of false alarms as compared with the single polarimetric observables.

This study aims to evaluate the usability of polarimetric SAR measurements for discriminating water-covered area from other land cover types and to propose polarimetric parameters showing the better response to the flood. Flood-related changes in the polarimetric parameters were studied using the L-band PALSAR-2 quad-pol mode data acquired before and after the severe flood events occurred in Joso city, Japan. The experimental results showed that, among various polarimetric parameters, the HH-polarization intensity, the Shannon entropy, and the surfaces scattering component of model-based decomposition were found to be useful to discriminate water-covered areas from other land cover types. Particularly, an unsupervised change detection with the Shannon entropy provides the best result for an automated mapping of flood extents.

In this paper, ground penetrating radar (GPR), which has the capability to detect non metal and plastic mines, is proposed to detect and discriminate antipersonnel (AP) landmines. The time domain GPR - Impulse radar and frequency domain GPR - SFCW (Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave) radar is utilized for metal and non-metal landmine detection and its performance is investigated. Since signal processing is vital for target reorganization and clutter rejection, we implemented the MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm for the signal processing of SFCW radar data and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) processing method for the signal processing of Impulse radar data.

The remote sensing technique using SAR data have many advantages when applied to the disaster site due to its wide coverage and all-weather acquisition availability. Although a single-pol (polarimetric) SAR image cannot represent the land surface better than a quad-pol SAR image can, single-pol SAR data are worth using for disaster-induced change detection. In this paper, an automatic change detection method based on a mixture of GGDs (generalized Gaussian distribution) is proposed, and usability of the textural features and intensity is evaluated by using the proposed method. Three ALOS/PALSAR images were used in the experiments, and the study site was Norita City, which was affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. The experiment results showed that the proposed automatic change detection method is practical for disaster sites where the large areas change. The intensity information is useful for detecting disaster-induced changes with a 68.3% g-mean, but the texture information is not. The autocorrelation and correlation show the interesting implication that they tend not to extract agricultural areas in the change detection map. Therefore, the final tsunami-induced change map is produced by the combination of three maps: one is derived from the intensity information and used as an initial map, and the others are derived from the textural information and used as auxiliary data.

비행기나 인공위성에 탑재된 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 레이더 또는 적외선 센서(FLIR)로 촬영한 데이터는 제한된 전송채널을 통해 신속히 전송하기 위해 데이터 압축을 필요로 하게된다. 이때 가능한 높은 압축율을 얻으면서 동시에 높은 목표물 탐지 능력을 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 서브밴드 코딩(subband coding) 과 벡터 양자화(VQ)를 이용하여 압축 알고리듬을 목표물 탐지의 예측기(predictor) 및 분류기(classifier)로 적용시킴으로써 목표물의 탐지능력을 유지하면서 효과적으로 압축할 수 있는 자동탐색기능 압축시스템(Joint ATR-compression System)을 제안하였으며 제안된 알고리듬을 사용한 경우의 시뮬레이션 결과는 200:1 이상의 높은 압축율에 대해서 비교적 높은 목표물 탐지 능력을 유지하고 있음을 나타내었다.

In this paper, the details and design process of an optical system for space target detection cameras are introduced. The whole system is divided into three structures. The first structure is a short-focus visible light system for rough detection in a large field of view. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 1,125 mm, and the F-number is 3.83. The second structure is a telephoto visible light system for precise detection in a small field of view. The field of view is 1°, the effective focal length is 2,300 mm, and the F-number is 7.67. The third structure is an infrared light detection system. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 390 mm, and the F-number is 1.3. The visible long-focus narrow field of view and visible short-focus wide field of view are switched through a turning mirror. Design results show that the modulation transfer functions of the three structures of the system are close to the diffraction limit. It can further be seen that the short-focus wide-field-of-view distortion is controlled within 0.1%, the long-focus narrow-field-of-view distortion within 0.5%, and the infrared subsystem distortion within 0.2%. The imaging effect is good and the purpose of the design is achieved.
