Abstract: A method of detecting moving objects and of estimating their velocity and position in SAR images includes the steps of generating a sequence of single-look SAR images which have the same polarization, are successive in time, and have a look center frequency which varies from one image to the next; detecting candidates for moving objects in the single-look SAR images of the sequence by searching for regions with a course of intensity that deviates from the environment; estimating the velocity of the detected candidates; and verifying the detected candidates as moving objects. The estimation of one or more velocity components of a detected candidate takes place jointly with the estimation of one or more position components of the candidate.
