Radar Imaging for Maritime Observation

A collaborative effort among world experts, this book presents the most recent results in radar imaging for maritime observation. The book explores the remote sensing of sea surface and the maritime surveillance providing key theoretical concepts of SAR and ISAR imaging and more advanced and ad-hoc techniques for maritime scenarios. Organized into two sections, theory and applications, it discusses the fundamentals of standard SAR/ISAR image processing and the results obtained by novel imaging techniques. Useful to both beginners and experts in maritime observation it helps also understanding that the overall concepts of space-borne radar imaging are applicable to other radar systems.
