ABSTRACT
Well executed SAR images are picture-like and it is
possible to identify various kinds of targets, e.g., trucks,
ships, etc. However, from a single SAR image, it is not
possible to determine which surface targets are moving. In
many applications, it is imperative to detect objects that
are moving and track them through stop-go-stop motion.
We have developed a technique for detecting moving
surface targets in a single frame of multi-channel SAR
image using phase-interferometry. In this paper, we
present results using airborne SAR data.
