Separation and characterisation of mineral oil slicks and newly formed sea ice in L-band synthetic aperture radar

Chapter 2 introduces the fundamentals of maritime target detection using synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which include the basic concepts of polarimetric SAR, essential

The proposed contamination test is examined with real single look complex (SLC) fine resolution quad-polarimetric Radarsat-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements, from

This is demonstrated by the earlier images in the time series in Figure 2, which show the oil from the southern slick, which originated at the TE site, be- ing entrained into

From section II it follows that the distribution of the sample covariance matrix C is determined by the model chosen for the texture variables. In the following, we shall

In this study, the SAR features co-polarisation ratio and relative kurtosis were found related to melt pond frac- tion in late summer.. For co-polarisation the relationship was

the Sea Ice Two-Component decomposition. The simulations have been made using test pattern especially built in such a way to have a solid and effective reference of the quality of

Within the L-band images a noticeable shift towards higher backscatter values in early melt season compared to the freezing season for all polarimetric channels is observed, though

By studying the behavior of the polarimetric features with respect to the classes obtained, shown in figure 6.11c, it is apparent that the classes might potentially correspond to
