摘要

Abstract

In this study

we provide a summary of research advances in the field of maritime target detection using DP (dual-polarimetric) SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) imagery

accomplished during the European and China collaboration in the framework of the Dragon-4 program ID 32235. The main innovative contribution is twofold: a) we addressed ship detection proposing an improved GP-PNF (Geometrical Perturbation–Polarimetric Notch Filter)

termed as IGP-PNF

that is characterized by a new feature vector that includes three new scattering features; b) we addressed oil platform detection by contrasting single-polarization SAR methods with polarimetric ones in order to quantify the extra- benefit carried on polarimetric information. The proposed theoretical framework is tested against actual multi-polarization SAR data. In particular

ship detection methods are verified against a Sentinel-1 SAR scene where a large number of ship is present; while

oil platform detection is discussed using TerraSAR-X SAR data. Experimental analysis show that: (1) the IGP-PNF method performs best in terms of clutter-to-target ratio; (2) coherent polarimetric information significantly outperforms single-polarization SAR measurements in highlighting targets in challenging cases.
