Description
Summary:This paper presents the Hopendjupet trial that was carried out in the Barents Sea between April and June 2006. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images from RADARSAT-1 and ENVISAT were used to analyze how SAR images and cooperative reporting can be combined. Data from the Automatic Identification System and Vessel Monitoring System have been used to identify detected vessels in the SAR images. The paper also identifies gaps that need to be closed to meet operational requirements for monitoring Norwegian waters. JRC.G.3 - Agriculture
