Estimation of Ship Radial Speed by Adaptive Processing of RADARSAT-1 Fine Mode Data

Estimation of Ship Radial Speed by Adaptive Processing of RADARSAT-1 Fine Mode Data

This letter describes a new method for estimating the radial component of a ship's velocity using single-channel synthetic aperture radar data acquired by RADARSAT-1. Unlike previous methods, this approach is applicable in the absence of any visible wakes. Experimental results confirm the robus...

Zusammenfassung:This letter describes a new method for estimating the radial component of a ship's velocity using single-channel synthetic aperture radar data acquired by RADARSAT-1. Unlike previous methods, this approach is applicable in the absence of any visible wakes. Experimental results confirm the robustness of the proposed algorithm.
