Codes based on CFAR algorithms are implemented to extract futures (crops) that are inputted to image classificator (SVM, KNN,...) in order to assign the type of vessel. Cross-correlation between detected target and AIS data is used to highlight not-cooperative vessels at sea.Satellite detection of thermal anomalies.Thermal satellite observations are used for the detection of active fires and thermal anomalies. Algorithms and codes based on CFAR detectors are adapted and customized to extract futures from data acquired by different spectro-radiometers. Pioneer application for sea target detection both during daytime and nighttime.Satellite Pre-Processing chainPre-Processing algorithms and codes to process raw imagery data acquired by the thermal payload.
