Maritime Surveillance with Synthetic Aperture Radar
The book has 11 chapters and is divided into 2 parts. Chapter 1 deals with the Introduction. The first part deals with Models and techniques and covers the following topics: Scattering models; Acquisition modes; SAR polarimetry; and Ambiguity problems and their mitigation. The s…
Chapter 8. Radar applications of compressive sensing by Albert G. Huizing and Reinier G. Tan Chapter 9. Advances in SAR change detection by Leslie M. Novak; Chapter 10. Future challenges by David Blacknell and Hugh Griffiths; Index. The ability to detect and locate targets by d…
The ability to detect and locate targets by day or night, over wide areas, regardless of weather conditions has long made radar a key sensor in many military and civil applications. However, the ability to automatically and reliably distinguish different targets represents a dif…
In this thesis the problem of designing a fast multiclass object detector based on cascade architecture is considered. A classifier cascade is a sequence of simple to complex sub-classifiers where each stage either rejects the input or pass it to the next stage. Since most of th…
The field of computer vision has become an important part of today's society, supporting crucial applications in the medical, manufacturing, military intelligence and surveillance domains. Many computer vision tasks can be divided into fundamental steps: image acquisition, pre-p…
