The project aims to consolidate existing results in the field of micro-Doppler information extraction from spaceborne SAR and to enhance the overall understanding of the phenomenology, models, processing algorithms, applications, and commercial value. The project focuses on assessing the performance of emerging information extraction methods as novel applications and on demonstrating the added value of micro-Doppler information for security, critical infrastructure monitoring, and search and rescue domains. It also aims to identify the technical issues, challenges, and limitations associated with extracting micro-Doppler information from SAR images. Furthermore, the project will develop novel processing methods and related software tools to extract micro-Doppler information across a range of relevant cases. In addition, it will define a roadmap for integrating micro-Doppler extraction into the existing SAR processing pipeline and for exploiting this capability to develop new, or improve existing, EO-based services.
Finally, the project also seeks to combine micro-Doppler phase analysis with information derived from acoustic sensors, contributing to the characterization of vessels’ underwater radiated noise and the monitoring of underwater sensor infrastructures.
