Abstract:
According to UNCTAD, the amount of global seaborne trade to have increased by 4.3%, with the reaching over 9 billion tons in 2012 for the first time ever. Nowadays, the number of Earth observation Satellite onboard Synthetic Aperture Rader (SAR) sensor. The ALOS-2 is the successor to the ALOS has been lunched in 2014. Japanese L-band radar keep monitoring for disaster, agriculture, as well as several maritime events to improve the protection of the marine environment and safety. This study aims to investigate several applications of space-born SAR sensors for maritime activity. In this paper, SAR Application has been discussed in order to assess the potential to be used for maritime activities. It was used to evaluate the performance of maritime monitoring in wide ocean area and visualizing information by SAR imagery.
