MARITIME SURVEILLANCE USING SAR OCEANIC IMAGES

Abstract

Marine things to do play a necessary position in the improvement of a nation. There is, however, a possible threat to the protection of a country via marine routes. This paper provides the most effective and easy-to-use method that enables the defense and marine protection authority staff to track the middle sections of the ocean for unusual marine activities by collecting an oceanic image from a SAR satellite. It helps the user by extracting information such as number of ships at particular region, distance between each, length and breadth of ships and the velocity at which the ship is moving. It includes various modules such as initial tiling and pre-processing, vessel or ship detection and wake detection for estimating velocity of ship. The interface of this framework is very user-friendly and fully implemented with a MATLAB.
