Abstract
A novel method of rotated window Radon transform is developed for identifying the linear texture in SAR image. It is applied to automatic detection of the ship wakes of SEASAT SAR image. The location and direction of the traveling ship can be quickly and accurately detected. In some cases, the ship velocity can also be obtained.
