Automated Ice-Water Classification using Dual Polarization SAR Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-19)Mapping ice and open water in ocean bodies is important for numerous purposes including environmental analysis and ship navigation. The Canadian Ice Service (CIS) currently has several expert ice analysts manually generate ... -
Monitoring Soil Moisture and Freeze/Thaw State Using C-band Imaging Radar
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-15)Soil moisture is an important state variable in many hydrological and meteorological applications. This thesis explores the use of the C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) parameters to monitor soil moisture and freeze/thaw ... -
Segmentation of RADARSAT-2 Dual-Polarization Sea Ice Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-24)The mapping of sea ice is an important task for understanding global climate and for safe shipping. Currently, sea ice maps are created by human analysts with the help of remote sensing imagery, including synthetic aperture ... -
Toward Automated Ice-Water Classification on Large Northern Lakes Using RADARSAT-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-22)Changes to ice cover on lakes throughout the northern landscape has been established as an indicator of climate change and variability. These changes are expected to have implications for both human and environmental ...
