Abstract
An application for ship detection based on satellite image data of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been implemented at the DLR site in Neustrelitz. The processing chain supports the fusion of the ship detection products extracted from the radar image with auxiliary data like Automatic Identification System (AIS) data from terrestrial and satellite sources. The near real time service was successfully demonstrated by the ESA project European Maritime Security Services (MARISS) and in different test campaigns for users like European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) or the Joint Research Centre (JRC). The ship detection service is currently implemented for the SAR sensors on-board the satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X. Dependent upon the spatial resolution of satellite image data, images and other products can be delivered within 15 minutes. Copyright © (2012) by the International Astronautical Federation.
