ICA-based classification of sea ice SAR images
نویسنده
چکیده
We have applied Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to sea ice SAR data to produce vector bases describing the elementary textural features in sea ice and use the projections of sea ice SAR image data to the sets of these basis vectors for classifying the SAR data. In this paper we solely concentrate on the classification based on the texture.

Recurrent modular network architecture for sea ice classification in the Marginal Ice Zone using ERS SAR images
A novel iterative approach based on a modular neural architecture [1] is presented for the classification of SAR images of sea ice. Additionally to the local image information the algorithm uses spatial context information derived from the first iteration of the algorithm and refines it in the subsequent iterations. The modular structure of the neural network is used with the aim to capture str...
متن کاملMultisource Data and Knowledge Fusion for Intelligent SAR Sea Ice Classification
In this paper we describe the fusion of various data and knowledge sources for intelligent SAR sea ice classification, thereby addressing the weaknesses of each information source while improving the overall reasoning power of the classifier. We equip our ice classification system, ARKTOS, with the capability of analyzing and classifying images unsupervised by emulating how a human geophysicist...

متن کاملComparison of Feature Based Segmentation of Sar Satellite Sea Ice Images with Manually Drawn Ice Charts
This paper explores automatic segmentation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images of sea ice. The investigation is based on a comparison of an automatically segmented SAR image and manual classifications by ice service analysts. The automatic algorithm uses statistical properties of the backscattered radar signals to segment the SAR image into a given number of classes. The numberof...
