Oil Tank Detection and Recognition via Monogenic Signal

Abstract

With the rapid development of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques, satellite systems’ capabilities to acquire information are continually improving. The PAZ satellite, with its high resolution and wide scanning swath, can provide high-quality data support for SAR applications. Oil tanks serve as energy storage devices, and their identification holds significant value in both military and civilian fields. Challenges in the detection and recognition of oil tanks using classical methods include poor detection, slow computation speed, and multiple windows of correct recognition. This paper centers on the analysis of oil tanks using PAZ data. We employ a sliding-window approach to acquire candidate target windows, process the windows through Weibull distribution modeling and hole filling, and extract target features using the monogenic signal based on regional L2 norm. The results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively improves the accuracy, and the model exhibits strong generalization ability and robustness.
