IDENTIFICATION AND INTEGRATION OF SHIPS USING RADAR, AIS AND SAR

Abstract

When we talk about for the ship detection, identification and its classification of the various type of ships presents in ocean, we need to go for the wide area of monitoring and it may be possible only through satellite based monitoring approach which monitors and covers coastal as well as the oceanic zone. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used to detect targets of interest with the advantage of the operating capability in all weather and luminance free condition (Margarit and Tabasco, 2011).This paper describes the preliminary design concept for an integration system of ships obtained fromRADAR, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Automatic Identification System (AIS) through the fieldcampaigns in coastal waters of Pyeongtaek Port, South Korea (Fig. 1). In general, SAR are used toacquire image data over large coverage area, AIS reports are obtained from ship-based transmitter, andRADAR can monitor continuously ships for a limited area.proach which monitors and covers coastal as well as the oceanic zone.
