Abstract:In this paper we present a methodology for comparing objects, identified on satellite images acquired by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The methodology describes object transformations mathematically and provides a quantitative estimate of the similarity of different shapes. To demonstrate its capabilities we examine a case study – we detect an underwater structure in the Western Black Sea, which becomes visible on radar imagery under favourable sea conditions. Our aim is to quantitatively describe if it chan… Show more
