Computer Simulations of Canada's RADARSAT2 GMTI
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Canada's RADARSAT2 commercial SAR satellite will have an experimental operating mode that will allow ground moving target indication (GMTI) measurements to be made with received data. This mode is also called MODEX (Moving Object Detection Experiment). In the GMTI or MODEX mode of operation the spacecraft's radar antenna is partitioned into two apertures that sequentially observe the scene of interest from the same points in space. Data is simultaneously and coherently received from both apertures and is down-linked in parallel channels for processing to extract moving target radial speeds in their SAR image context. This paper provides an analysis of SAR-GMTI performance based on computer modeling and simulations. Two SAR-MTI processing approaches are being explored. One utilizes the classical DPCA clutter cancellation technique to provide sub-clutter visibility for dim slowly moving targets. The other is based on the along-track (temporal) SAR interferometer technique, where amplitude and phase information of the slow-moving tar gets are exploited to extract them from the dominant clutter background. Performances of the two approaches are compared.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
