Abstract
In this work we propose a new GLRT technique to detect oil spills dipping into a non Gaussian clutter using a coastal (VTS) radar with high resolution and working in X-band. Analyzing a real dataset stored by the IPIX radar in Canada, we show that a non-coherent integration of the received pulses in the slow time domain, particularly over successive scans, allow us to detect oil spills, treated like a low scattering zone, even if with small size. © 2011 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
