Abstract:
This paper presents results from a research project completed in 2019 that aimed to enable greater use of RADARSAT-2 and RCM for maritime surveillance. We focus on three key project outcomes: SAR-based classification of vessel type, SAR-based vessel velocity estimation and monitoring of vessel activity in ports.
