Advanced ISAR Processing Applied to VHR SAR Data for Security Applications

This work consolidates the existing results in the field of information extraction from spaceborne SAR imagery based on Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) techniques, as well as enhances the understanding of the phenomenology, the models, the processing algorithms, the applications, and the overall value in security applications. The focus is on ISAR based advanced processing methods to explore the potentialities of very high resolution (VHR) SAR data in a range of security related application domains, including maritime, inland water, and land scenarios.
