AESS Distinguished Lecture: 3D ISAR Techniques and Applications

IEEE Atlanta and the Atlanta chapters of AESS/GRSS and SPS are pleased to host AESS Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Luke Rosenberg on Monday, May 12. The talk will be held in-person from Cobb County and available virtually via Webex. Speaker: Dr. Luke Rosenberg; Adjunct Professor at the University of Adelaide, Advanced Systems & Technologies of Lockheed Martin Australia Title: 3D Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR): Techniques and Applications Abstract: In maritime radar, Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to image targets with classification typically performed by a radar operator. The three dimensional (3D)-ISAR was developed as an alternative representation with the target represented by a 3D point cloud, instad of the traditional range/Doppler image. This talk will describe a number of different reconstruction techniques and demonstrate how the improved localisation can be used to enhance target classification. Bio: Luke Rosenberg (FIEEE) received the bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering, the master’s degree in signal and information processing, and the Ph.D degree from the University of Adelaide, Australia, in 1999, 2001, and 2007, respectively. In 2016, he completed the Graduate Program in Scientific Leadership at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He leads the RF Analysis and Sensemaking group at Advanced Systems & Technologies, Lockheed Martin Australia and is an adjunct Associate Professor with the University of Adelaide. Prior to this he was a Research Specialist at the Defence Science and Technology Group, Australia where he worked for 23 years. His work covers the areas of radar image formation, classification, adaptive filtering, detection theory, and radar and clutter modelling. Dr. Rosenberg has received several best paper awards, the prestigious Defence Science and Technology Achievement Award for Science and Engineering Excellence in 2016 and the IEEE AESS Fred Nathanson award in 2018 for ‘Fundamental Experimental and Theoretical Work in Characterizing Radar Sea Clutter’. In 2024, he became an IEEE Fellow for contributions to maritime radar. He is the VP Publications on the AESS board of governors, a distinguished lecturer for the AESS, senior editor for the Transactions of Aerospace and Electronic Systems and past chair of the IEEE South Australian Section. He has over 190 publications including a book on Radar Sea Clutter: Modelling and Detection Agenda: Lunch: 11:30AM – 12:00PM Technical Talk: 12:00PM – 12:45PM Q&A: 12:45PM – 1:00PM Please indicate in the RSVP menu options if you will attend in-person or virtually.
