CSP - Synthetic Aperture Sonar & Synthetic Aperture Radar
Abstract
The Institute of Acoustics has previously held three successful international conferences onsynthetic aperture sonar and radar (2006, 2010, 2014). These drew together people fromboth communities to discuss the developments in both fields and to establish where thereare common areas of interest and where cross-fertilisation may prove beneficial.Traditional sonar and radar both emerged during the early parts of the 20th century and itwas recognised there were many areas of common interest. These include; detection,classification, localisation and tracking of targets against a background of reverberation,noise or clutter, using either acoustic or electromagnetic energy.Over the past few decades there have been significant advances in both domains in the useof synthetic aperture imaging techniques ??? in radar for high resolution imaging from aircraftand satellites, for defence surveillance purposes, for geophysical and oceanographic remotesensing and for environmental monitoring. In sonar it has been applied in high resolutionimaging of objects on the seabed (including clutter) for the offshore industry and maritimemine countermeasures.Despite these common goals there had previously been very little cross-fertilisation betweenthe two communities and the first three Institute of Acoustics conferences on this topic wereheld in order to try and address this. The aim of this 2 ?? day conference is to build on thesuccess of the previous conferences and provide a forum for comparison of systemstechniques, signal and image processing, experimental results and to stimulate new ideas ineach domain.The institute of acoustics will therefore be hosting this conference in September 2018 in theVilla Marigola, Lerici, Italy. Particular topics of interest for conference are, but not restrictedto:??? synthetic aperture from autonomous vehicles (auvs and uavs)??? processing schemes and algorithms??? image registration, fusion and reconstruction??? automated and computer aided target recognition, computer aided detection andclassification??? interferometry and differential interferometry??? change detection??? compressed sensing??? performance assessment??? low frequency and uwb synthetic aperture??? bi-static, multi-static and mimo synthetic aperture??? passive synthetic aperture sonar??? satellite synthetic aperture radar??? motion compensation, navigation and autofocus??? spotlight and squint mode
