Recently, patch detection techniques, such as superpixel-level detection, have stimulated wide interest because they can use the information contained in similarities among neighboring pixels. In this article, we propose a novel neighborhood polarimetric covariance matrix (NPCM) to detect the small ships in PolSAR images, leading to a significant improvement in the separability between ship targets and sea clutter. The NPCM utilizes the spatial correlation between neighborhood pixels and maps the representation for a given pixel into a high-dimensional covariance matrix by embedding spatial and polarization information. Using the NPCM formalism, we apply a standard whitening filter, similar to the polarimetric whitening filter (PWF). We show how the inclusion of neighborhood information improves the performance compared with the traditional polarimetric covariance matrix. However, this is at the expense of a higher computation cost. The theory is validated via the simulated and measured data under different sea states and using different radar platforms.

Merian, and R/V Meteor. This paper describes the GNSS processing method and compares the GNSS IWV retrievals with IWV estimates from the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) fifth ReAnalysis (ERA5), from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) infra-red products, and from terrestrial GNSS stations located along the tracks of the ships. The ship-borne GNSS IWVs retrievals from R/V Atalante and R/V Meteor compare well with ERA5, with small biases (−1.62 kg m−2 for R/V Atalante and +0.65 kg m−2 for R/V Meteor) and a root mean square (RMS) difference about 2.3 kg m−2. The results for the R/V Maria S. Merian are found to be of poorer quality, with RMS difference of 6 kg m−2 which are very likely due to the location of the GNSS antenna on this R/V prone to multipath effects. The comparisons with ground-based GNSS data confirm these results. The comparisons of all three R/V IWV retrievals with MODIS infrared product show large RMS differences of 5–7 kg m−2, reflecting the enhanced uncertainties of this satellite product in the tropics. These ship-borne IWV retrievals are intended to be used for the description and understanding of meteorological phenomena that occurred during the campaign, east of Barbados, Guyana and northern Brazil.

Horizontal calibration of vessels with UASs / Casey O'Heran in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 2 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inMarine geodesy > vol 44 n° 2 (March 2021) . - pp 91 - 107 Titre : Horizontal calibration of vessels with UASs Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Casey O'Heran, Auteur ; Brian Calder, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 91 - 107 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] balayage laser [Termes IGN] bathymétrie laser [Termes IGN] carte bathymétrique [Termes IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes IGN] données localisées des bénévoles [Termes IGN] étalonnage d'instrument [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface [Termes IGN] navire [Termes IGN] point d'appui [Termes IGN] réalité de terrain [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion Résumé : (auteur) Knowledge of offset vectors from vessel mounted sonars, to systems such as Inertial Measurement Units and Global Navigation Satellite Systems is crucial for accurate ocean mapping applications. Traditional survey methods, such as employing laser scanners or total stations, are used to determine professional vessel offset distances reliably. However, for vessels of opportunity that are collecting volunteer bathymetric data, it is beneficial to consider survey methods that may be less time consuming, less expensive, or which do not involve bringing the vessel into a dry dock. Thus, this article explores two alternative methods that meet this criterion for horizontally calibrating vessels. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) were used to horizontally calibrate a vessel with both Structure from Motion photogrammetry and aerial lidar while the vessel was moored to a floating dock. Estimates of the horizontal deviations from ground truth, were obtained by comparing the horizontal distances between targets on a vessel, acquired by the UAS methods, to multiple ground truth sources: a survey-grade terrestrial laser scan and fiberglass tape measurements. The investigated methods were able to achieve horizontal deviations on the order of centimeters with the use of Ground Control Points.

Passive radar imaging of ship targets with GNSS signals of opportunity / Debora Pastina in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 59 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > Vol 59 n° 3 (March 2021) . - pp 2627 - 2742 Titre : Passive radar imaging of ship targets with GNSS signals of opportunity Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Debora Pastina, Auteur ; Fabrizio Santi, Auteur ; Federica Pieralice, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 2627 - 2742 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] capteur passif [Termes IGN] chaîne de traitement [Termes IGN] cible mobile [Termes IGN] détection de cible [Termes IGN] extraction de traits caractéristiques [Termes IGN] image radar [Termes IGN] navigation maritime [Termes IGN] navire [Termes IGN] radar bistatique [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Termes IGN] télédétection spatiale Résumé : (Auteur) This article explores the possibility to exploit global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals to obtain radar imagery of ships. This is a new application area for the GNSS remote sensing, which adds to a rich line of research about the alternative utilization of navigation satellites for remote sensing purposes, which currently includes reflectometry, passive radar, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. In the field of short-range maritime surveillance, GNSS-based passive radar has already proven to detect and localize ship targets of interest. The possibility to obtain meaningful radar images of observed vessels would represent an additional benefit, opening the doors to noncooperative ship classification capability with this technology. To this purpose, a proper processing chain is here conceived and developed, able to achieve well-focused images of ships while maximizing their signal-to-background ratio. Moreover, the scaling factors needed to map the backscatter energy in the range and cross-range domain are also analytically derived, enabling the estimation of the length of the target. The effectiveness of the proposed approach at obtaining radar images of ship targets and extracting relevant features is confirmed via an experimental campaign, comprising multiple Galileo satellites and a commercial ferry undergoing different kinds of motion.

Deep learning for detecting and classifying ocean objects: application of YoloV3 for iceberg–ship discrimination / Frederik Hass in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 9 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 9 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 758 Titre : Deep learning for detecting and classifying ocean objects: application of YoloV3 for iceberg–ship discrimination Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Frederik Hass, Auteur ; Jamal Jokar Arsanjani, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 758 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] Groenland [Termes IGN] hydrocarbure [Termes IGN] iceberg [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes IGN] navire [Termes IGN] océan [Termes IGN] seuillage d'image [Termes IGN] trafic maritime Résumé : (auteur) Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) plays a remarkable role in ocean surveillance, with capabilities of detecting oil spills, icebergs, and marine traffic both at daytime and at night, regardless of clouds and extreme weather conditions. The detection of ocean objects using SAR relies on well-established methods, mostly adaptive thresholding algorithms. In most waters, the dominant ocean objects are ships, whereas in arctic waters the vast majority of objects are icebergs drifting in the ocean and can be mistaken for ships in terms of navigation and ocean surveillance. Since these objects can look very much alike in SAR images, the determination of what objects actually are still relies on manual detection and human interpretation. With the increasing interest in the arctic regions for marine transportation, it is crucial to develop novel approaches for automatic monitoring of the traffic in these waters with satellite data. Hence, this study aims at proposing a deep learning model based on YoloV3 for discriminating icebergs and ships, which could be used for mapping ocean objects ahead of a journey. Using dual-polarization Sentinel-1 data, we pilot-tested our approach on a case study in Greenland. Our findings reveal that our approach is capable of training a deep learning model with reliable detection accuracy. Our methodical approach along with the choice of data and classifiers can be of great importance to climate change researchers, shipping industries and biodiversity analysts. The main difficulties were faced in the creation of training data in the Arctic waters and we concluded that future work must focus on issues regarding training data.
