Abstract :
This paper focuses on the SAR-MTI processor improvement by using a priori knowledge of the road networks. The proposed technique is fit for civil applications where the traffic obeys to certain rules, such as being bound to a road with a predefined direction and complying, in average, with a velocity range. This possibility is demonstrated using a mixture of simulated and real data.
