A Method of Extracting the SWH Based on a Constituted Wave Slope Feature Vector (WSFV) from X-Band Marine Radar Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The shadow statistical method (SSM) used for extracting the significant wave height (SWH) from X-band marine radar images was further investigated because of its advantage of not requiring an external reference for calibration.

Building a Practical Multi-Sensor Platform for Monitoring Vessel Activity near Marine Protected Areas: Case Studies from Urban and Remote Locations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Monitoring vessel activity is an important part of managing marine protected areas (MPAs), but small-scale fishing and recreational vessels that do not participate in cooperative vessel traffic systems require additional monitoring strategies.

A Method for Estimating Ship Surface Wind Parameters by Combining Anemometer and X-Band Marine Radar Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The steady airflow field on a ship is affected by structure and motion and challenged by phenomena such as the low measurement accuracy of the wind field caused by the occlusion of the anemometer.

X-Band Radar System to Detect Bathymetric Changes at River Mouths during Storm Surges: A Case Study of the Arno River

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Storm surges are natural events that influence the dispersion of sediment along coasts, leading to sudden morphological changes in the seabed. From this perspective, we focused our study on the analysis of measurements from a mobile X-band radar system ...

Insect ventral radar cross-section polarisation dependence measurements for radar entomology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Radar entomology has developed such that routine long-term monitoring of insect flight through the atmospheric boundary layer is now practical. Typical entomological radars use X-band (9.4 GHz) marine transceivers with a vertical pencil beam and rotate ...

A shoreline detection method with X-band marine radar

open access: yesContinental Shelf Research
The assessment of morphological mapping capacity of X-band radars is performed by comparing radar-derived shoreline estimates with in-situ data measured from DGPS-RTK surveys in Cala Millor beach (October 22–24, 2018). Radar estimates are obtained by applying an automatic method based on digital image processing, threshold segmentation and first-order ...

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...
