Abstract

In the paper ship position and motion parameter estimation results obtained with the German TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X radar satellite formation are presented. For processing a novel ground moving target indication (GMTI) algorithm applicable for dual-platform SAR systems separated by a large along-track baseline is used. This algorithm enables high accurate estimation of the true geographical positions, the velocities and moving directions of the detected ships and land moving targets without the need of a priori knowledge. The algorithm is verified and evaluated using SAR data and ground truth reference data acquired during the commissioning phase of TanDEM-X in 2010.
