Although many studies on ship detection using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagesare being conducted around the world, there are still very few employing SAR microsatellites, as mostof the microsatellites are optical satellites. Recently, the ICEYE and Capella Space have embarked onthe development of microsatellites with SAR sensor, and similar projects are being initiated globally inline with the flow of the new space era [e.g., for the ICEYE: 18 satellites (~2021); Capella Space: 36satellites (~2023); and the Coast Guard SAR: 32 satellites in the early development stage]. In preparationfor these new systems, it is important to review the SAR microsatellite system and the recent advancesin this technology. Accordingly, in this paper, the current status and characteristics of optical and SARmicrosatellite constellation operation are described, and studies using them are investigated. In addition,based on the status and characteristics of the representative SAR microsatellites, specifically the ICEYEand Capella systems, methods for using SAR microsatellite data for ship detection applications aredescribed. Our results confirm that the SAR microsatellites operate as a constellation and have theadvantages of short revisit cycles and quick provision of high-resolution images. With this technology,we expect SAR microsatellites to contribute greatly to the monitoring a wide-area target vessel, in whichthe spatiotemporal resolution of the imagery is especially important. |
