Conventional SAR Change Detection Using Methods for Non-conventional SAR

Abstract

Conventional SAR refers to SAR systems with small fractional bandwidth and short relative aperture whereas non-conventional SAR refers to SAR systems with large fractional bandwidth and long relative aperture. A large number of change detection methods has been developed for non-conventional SAR that can provide high detection probability and low false alarm rate. A research question is that whether these change detection methods are available for conventional SAR or not. In this study, we will try to answer this research question by applying a change detection method developed for non-conventional SAR system to conventional SAR system.
