Target Detection, Maritime Patrol, Remote Sensing SAR, SAR PolarimetryAbstract
Automatic detection is essential when images data obtained by SAR is used for surveillance of large areas. In this work, we studied an image with two targets of different return intensities. Initially, we analyze each Single Pol band, using only the intensity information. Afterwards, we applied a polarimetric decomposition, exploring all full pol information, which improved detection by increasing the difference between the targets and the background, asserting the importance of polarimetric data in artificial target detection at sea.
