Abstract

Radar can provide inexpensive wide-area surveillance of river and port traffic for both security and emergency response. We demonstrate the tracking of multiple vessels as well as the micro-Doppler signatures of different classes of small vessels, including kayaks and zodiacs. The pattern of life of a river is analyzed over several days and can be used to easily identify suspicious or unusual cases.
