Iterative Estimation of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Using SeaWinds Data
Polar sea ice extent is an important input to global climate models and is considered to be a sensitive indicator of climate change. An algorithm has previously been developed for sea ice extent detection using data from the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT). This paper discusses the extension of that algorithm to data from SeaWinds on QuikSCAT. Due to differences in the two instruments, several modif...
متن کاملCoherence Enhancement Diffusion Using Robust Orientation Estimation
In this paper, a new robust orientation estimation for Coherence Enhancement Diffusion (CED) is proposed. In CED, proper scale selection is very important as the gradient vector at that scale reflects the orientation of local ridge. For this purpose, a new scheme is proposed in which pre calculated orientation, by using orientation diffusion, is used to find the correct true local scale. From t...
متن کاملBoosting Ced Using Robust Orientation Estimation
In this paper, Coherence Enhancement Diffusion (CED) is boosted feeding external orientation using new robust orientation estimation. In CED, proper scale selection is very important as the gradient vector at that scale reflects the orientation of local ridge. For this purpose a new scheme is proposed in which pre calculated orientation, by using local and integration scales. From the experimen...
متن کاملPolar Sea Ice Mapping Using SeaWinds Data
Microwave remote sensing provides an excellent means for mapping polar sea ice extent. In this study, a new algorithm for polar sea ice mapping is developed for use with the SeaWinds instrument. The approach utilizes a priori information within the framework of Bayes detection to produce sea ice extent maps. Statistical models for sea ice and ocean are represented in histograms which are filter...
متن کاملUsing Inertial Sensors for Position and Orientation Estimation
In recent years, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) inertial sensors (3D accelerometers and 3D gyroscopes) have become widely available due to their small size and low cost. Inertial sensor measurements are obtained at high sampling rates and can be integrated to obtain position and orientation information. These estimates are accurate on a short time scale, but suffer from integration drift ...
