Abstract

A new method is suggested for determining coordinates of protracted seaborne objects based on information extracted from the binary digital radar image. The data obtained from the results of processing of an actual radar image show that the method ensures the required accuracy of coordinate reference. Practical implementation of the method is simpler compared to the methods in existence.
