  • Abstract
    Aegir is an automatic ship detection tool developed at FFI. Now it analyses the different polarisation channels independently. The goal is to fuse the channels before the analysis starts, and to detect the ships in the fused channels. When dual-polarised data is available it is possible to look at the channels individually and combined. When fully polarised data is available, it is also possible to use the scattering matrix and decompose it in different ways.
