A novel moving target indication strategy for traffic monitoring using SAR

This paper presents a novel moving target indicator which is selective with respect to a direction of interest. This selectivity may be useful for traffic monitoring in civil environments where the target area contains, simultaneously, traffic moving in several different directions, besides that of interest. The developed MTI obtains results more accurate than those obtained by the classical methods. Furthermore, it has low computational requirements and provides accurate results using data from single channel SAR..
