Abstract :
In addition to the areal backscattering, the information in sea ice SAR images is in the edges. Here we propose some novel features for sea ice SAR classification. The features are mainly based on the information extracted from the edges detected by an edge detection algorithm, and segment edges at segment boundaries.
