False alarms emerge easily in the edge region for its sharper variations of the scattering characteristics. Utilizing the gradient difference between the target shadow edge and other edge regions in the image, this letter proposes a VideoSAR false alarm reduction method based on gradient-weighted edge information. By considering the reasonable gradient and area of the overlapping edge region between changing region and background, this method could reduce the amount of false alarms (     P  f a   = 18 . 4 %    ) and retain the correct shadow of moving target (     P d  = 74 . 8 %    ). Experiments on a real footage verify the excellent effect of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11222677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]],"date-time":"2019-11-15T11:24:32Z","timestamp":1573817072000},"page":"2677","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Suppressing False Alarm in VideoSAR viaGradient-Weighted Edge Information"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Zihan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, No. 109 De Ya Road, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anxi","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, No. 109 De Ya Road, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, No. 109 De Ya Road, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhihua","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, No. 109 De Ya Road, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianzhu","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, No. 109 De Ya Road, Changsha 410073, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Fan, Q., Chen, F., Cheng, M., Lou, S., Xiao, R., Zhang, B., Wang, C., and Li, J.
