Detection studies of the ship targets on sea-surface based on fusion of multi-parameter satellite SAR images

Recently, the developments of multi-parameter SAR systems are so fast. Those images are of multi-bands, multi-polarizations, multi-look-angles, multi-resolutions and multi-swaths and so on respectively in order to meet the different needs from ocean, atmosphere and land users. The safeties and operations for the ships over sea surface offer important supports based on real detection from satellite SAR. So, Satellite SAR remote sensing methodology is of great potential for monitoring ships. The research areas of the paper include satellite SAR developing states and its progresses, SAR imaging mechanisms and studied techniques for ship detection, example research and compare their results by the approach and tradition. The studies indicate that the monitoring technology for ship provided by the studies is of important application values and develop potential.
