Abstract :
A technique is described for measuring sea ice characteristics over a wide area of ice covered water. The sea ice was photographed by video camera from the ship. Continuous video images are obtained using geometric transformation and template matching. Both size of the ice and concentration along the ship´s route can be obtained continuously
