Study of synthetic aperture radar and automatic identification system for ship target detection

In the past,the main goals of Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)systems were the study of the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the earth surface.Recently,the development of multi-channel SAR systems has enabled the development of more sophisticated techniques for the surveillance activities.SAR is the most efficient instrument,which provides high-resolution data for wide ocean area surveillance under all weather conditions.The intrinsic capability of this instrument is to provide a quick view of the oceanic surface features such as vessels,waves and currents,oil spills,laver facilities and wind fields.The ship detection or recognition is achieved in two steps:the first step is to identify the target in SAR images of a busy traffic,which corresponds to Automatic Identification System(AIS)signals by the“dead-reckoning(DR)position”,and the second step is to estimate the position,size and speed of the ship from SAR images and compare these results with the AIS“true”data.This paper presents the fundamentals of SAR and its integration with the AIS data for the ship target detection.

A case study of tsunami detection system and ocean wave imaging mechanism using radar

Tsunamis are the seismic generated waves,which causes the huge displacement of water volume in ocean from deep water to the coastal regions.Tsunami detection and investigation of its early warning is the very important issue nowadays,which supports our existing system more precise.This paper proposes a case study of the mathematical models of the ocean wave imaging schemes and the Tsunami detection system model for the Japan’s region where Tsunamis hits on March 11,2011.Tsunami detection function(q-factor)was developed which is well known as q-factor estimates.q-factor works on the principle of selected radar band threshold.The tsunami reaches around an hour afterward the earthquake,as specified through the relationship in the velocities in altered bands.These effects in a high-pitched upsurge in the q-factor,descriptive the tsunami appearance.This radar functions for only 40 min in the hour,causing in the 20 min gaps noticeable in plots.The entrance of the tsunami is specified by relationship between velocities in altered bands early about 2.5 h afterward the volcanic activity.q-factor demonstrates a sudden conversion in magnitude about 8 min afterward the start of the velocity relationships.At this point,the velocity is declining,representing that the tsunami is stirring offshore,subsequent in the negative q-factor.The future improvements in integrated tsunami detection systems can also be easily incorporated in this technique in order to obtain better detection capabilities.

An assessment of oil spill detection using Sentinel 1 SAR-C images

Identification of an oil spill is additionally essential to evaluate the potential spread and float from the source to the adjacent coastal terrains.In such manner,usage of Synthetic Aperture RADAR(SAR)information for the recognition and checking of oil spills has gotten extensive consideration as of late,because of their wide zone inclusion,day-night and all-weather capabilities.The present examination studies an oil spill occurred in the Al Khafji region by applying Sentinel 1 SAR-C images.Al Khafji is on the borderline between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the Persian Gulf and it is detected as an unbiased zone.Al Khafji region can possibly deliver in excess of 7472.403 m³barrels of oil for every day(m³/d).Approaches dependent on multi-sensor satellite images examination have been produced for distinguishing oil spills from referred to common leaks just as oil slick procedures.In this paper,one of these techniques is associated with Sentinel 1 images of a known region of natural oil leakage and of an ongoing oil slick incident in Al Khafji zone.The Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)is perceived as the most significant remote sensing apparatus for the ocean and ocean waters oil slick examination,recording,documentation and propagation.Specifically,this paper examines oil spills recognition in the Persian Gulf surveyed by utilizing Sentinel-1(SAR-C)imageries.Results demonstrated the significance of the VV polarization of the Sentinel-1 for recognizing oil-spills just as the diminished utility of the VH polarization in this sole circumstance.

A brief review on tsunami early warning detection using BPR approach and post analysis by SAR satellite dataset

Tsunami early warning systems have provided to be the extreme importance after the tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011.This research article presents a case study based on the tsunami detection using Bottom Pressure Rate(BPR)measurement and the post the analysis using the SAR datasets.A final decision based system using BPR has been studied to carry out the measurements of tsunami wave parameters.SAR based study has also been carried out for the post tsunami studies.Wiener filters are utilized to remove the speckle noise presents in imagery.Future scope of this work has also been proposed.

Measurement and validation of tsunami Eigen values for the various water wave conditions

This paper proposes the mathematical model to investigate how to compute and analyze the tsunami wave parameters and the retrieval of its early warning using remote sensing technique to improve the detection rate.The different methods available for the evaluation of the tsunami detection systems are also introduced.This research work is to compute and analyze the tsunami wave parameters such as Eigen functions in deep,intermediate and shallow water regions.The computational and algorithmic analysis of tsunami wave parameters are achieved in three steps:the first step is to calculate the earthquake fault parameters such as length,width,area and displacement from the epicenter,which corresponds to the effect of its variation with respect to the earthquake magnitude.The variation of each fault parameters have been measured and recorded out over the certain moment of magnitudes(M).This shows smaller values as compared to the earthquake magnitude M 9.5 at which all the parameters shows very large response.The second step involves the measurements of water wave angular frequency in deep,intermediate and shallower region of ocean.The values of angular frequencies in deep water shows the lesser response as compared to other two water conditions because,in deep water the angular velocity of water particles travels with the lesser speed as compared to the shallower region as per Airy’s wave theory.The simulation results show the angular velocity in Deep Ocean is very less,moderate in the intermediate water and very high on the coastal region.It indicates the higher impact on coastal region.The third step involves the simulation study of measurement of tsunami Eigen functions such as orbital velocity,acceleration,wave potential in deep,intermediate and shallower water regions.The simulation result shows the resultant orbital velocity and accelerations in deep,intermediate and shallow water regions provides the similar response as angular velocity due to same proportion of the water displacement from deep to coastal regions.Hence the dynamic forces are very high approximately 1 km from the beaches.Once the Tsunami waves approaches to the beach,wave height increases whereas particle acceleration decreases because near the coast,due to geological structure of the earth’s surface,inertia and gravity forces increase to the extreme limits,while particle acceleration and velocity values reach close to zero.The wave potential Eigen function has also been plotted and measured with respect to the water depth condition and the similar response is obtained in the simulation result.The validation of each result has also been presented with the standard simulated data,which shows the results as less than 10%of the accuracy.
