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 ... -
Correction Methods for Non-Stationary Noise Floor in Sentinel-1 Images Using Convex Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a method of creating images of the surface of the Earth by emitting and receiving radar waves. Sentinel-1 is a SAR platform made by the European Space Agency (ESA) that provides a source ... -
Learning to Estimate Sea Ice Concentration from SAR Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Through the growing interest in the Arctic for shipping, mining and climate research, large-scale high quality ice concentration is of great interest. Due to the unavailability of suitable ice concentration estimation ... -
A New Look Into Image Classification: Bootstrap Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2012-03-15)Scene classification is performed on countless remote sensing images in support of operational activities. Automating this process is preferable since manual pixel-level classification is not feasible for large scenes. ... -
Sea Ice Concentration Estimation: Using Passive Microwave and SAR Data with Fully Convolutional Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Sea ice concentration is of great interest to ship navigators and scientists who require regional ice cover understanding. Passive microwave data and image analysis charts are typically used to estimate ice concentration, ...
