Abstract

The use of satellite imagery and specifically SAR data for vessel detection and identification has attracted researchers during the last decade. The objective of this work is to provide a novel approach for ship identification based mainly on polarimetric data, taking into consideration the different behaviour of the ship in various polarizations. For this purpose new measures and accordingly a new feature vector is proposed. The feature vector is employed in order to create a vessel signatures database and its efficiency is tested on ASAR data.
