Short summary
This paper presents a novel algorithm for traffic monitoring applications, where the powerful post-Doppler space-time adaptive processing (PD STAP) is combined with the OpenStreetMap database. The road map is applied after the PD STAP for recognizing and rejecting false detections, and for repositioning off-road vehicles. The algorithm was tested using real multi-channel data acquired by DLR’s airborne F-SAR. The experimental results are shown and discussed, and the novelties are highlighted.
