Klein, K.T.J. (author), Uysal, F. (author), Caro Cuenca, M. (author), Otten, M.P.G. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing on agile radar platforms requires a very accurate estimate of position due to the unpredictable trajectory of such platforms. This is even more challenging in GPS-denied scenarios where the bias in inertial sensors cannot be compensated. In this study, we propose a 3D radar-aided positioning method based...conference paper 2022

Klein, K.T.J. (author), Uysal, F. (author), Caro Cuenca, M. (author), Otten, M.P.G. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author)Continuous navigation is crucial for small drones when flying a pre-planned route or during autonomous flight. In scenarios where a global positioning system (GPS) signal is unavailable, drift in the onboard sensors causes the inertial navigation system (INS) to quickly deviate from the planned route. This paper proposes a radar-aided navigation...conference paper 2021

de Jong, R.J. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Uysal, F. (author)In the defence and security domain, camera systems are widely used for surveillance. The major advantage of using camera systems for surveillance is that they provide high‐resolution imagery, which is easy to interpret. However, the use of camera systems and optical imagery has some drawbacks, especially for application in the military domain....article 2021

(author)In this paper, a wire detection algorithm is proposed for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The algorithm is specifically designed for SAR images generated from an agile, drone-mounted, omnidirectional radar array to be used for the detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). A multistage approach consisting of denoising, constant...conference paper 2020

de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Gusland, D. (author), Trommel, R.P. (author)The use of drones grows rapidly, recreational and commercial use, as well as malicious use. Following the trend of increasing use, there is an increasing need for radar systems to detect, track and characterize drones. Drone characterization, i.e., extracting information about the payload and intent of a drone, is crucial for the effective...conference paper 2020

Premel-Cabic, G. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Cuenca, M. Caro (author)The ALFA project aims at timely detection, tracking, classification, and intent assessment of LSS targets. The system relies on a heterogeneous sensor suite, including radar. The objective of the radar component is sector surveillance including target classification. Since the revisit time needs to be short, classification must be done with very...conference paper 2019

In this paper, a model-based method is described to detect and classify canonical scatters, such as corners and planar walls, inside a building. Once corners and walls have been located, a building map can be synthesized. To detect and...article 2016

Harmanny, R.I.A. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Prémel-Cabic, G. (author)The radar micro-Doppler signature of a target is determined by parts of the target moving or rotating in addition to the main body motion. The relative motion of these parts is characteristic for different classes of targets, e.g. the flapping motion of a bird’s wings versus the spinning of propeller blades. In the present study, the micro...article 2015

Rossum, W.L. (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author)There are several scenarios for which it is desirable to obtain the layout of a building interior using outside radar sensing and surveillance. These situations may arise after an earthquake, when a building might become unstable or when the building entrance is blocked in hostage taking or criminal acts by outlaws. In this chapter, several...bookPart 2014
