  • Method and system for determining a characteristic dimension of a ship
    Patent number: 11635511
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a dimension of a ship, the method being implemented by an electronic system with a radar device having two receiving channels. The method includes: acquiring, for each of the two receiving channels of the radar device, a synthetic aperture radar image imaging the ship in an environment; the sum of the respective amplitudes of the pixels of the two radar images to obtain a sum image; extracting pixels from the sum image imaging the ship to obtain a mask of the ship; determining a range of phase differences between the radar signals received by each of the two receiving channels; and determining a dimension of the ship as a function of the mask of the ship and the determined phase difference range.
