An automatic target recognition (ATR) system performs automatic target acquisition, identification and tracking by processing a sequence of complex images. Since radar systems can produce high-resolution images during day or night and for all weather conditions, sequences of radar images can be used by an efficient ATR system for sea traffic control. In this paper, a system for the automatic control of ship-traffic in the access area of a sea-port is presented. The system employs digital processing techniques applied to sequences of X-band real-aperture radar images. Problems due to target signature variability, aspect-angle dependence and noise are taken into account. Some new algorithms for the detection of drift-angles have been conceived and realized. They provide useful information for automatic collision avoidance systems.

Abstract

An automatic target recognition (ATR) system performs automatic target acquisition, identification and tracking by processing a sequence of complex images. Since radar systems can produce high-resolution images during day or night and for all weather conditions, sequences of radar images can be used by an efficient ATR system for sea traffic control. In this paper, a system for the automatic control of ship-traffic in the access area of a sea-port is presented. The system employs digital processing techniques applied to sequences of X-band real-aperture radar images. Problems due to target signature variability, aspect-angle dependence and noise are taken into account. Some new algorithms for the detection of drift-angles have been conceived and realized. They provide useful information for automatic collision avoidance systems.
