Title :
Assessment of the coastal maritime environment with airborne mid-wave infrared imagery
Author_Institution :
TNO Phys. & Electron. Lab., The Hague, Netherlands
Abstract :
Images acquired with an airborne mid-wave infrared camera over the Netherlands North Sea coast are presented. A number of features are tentatively attributed to a non-thermal origin, and identified as sea bottom topography, current fronts, and tidal channels. Parallels with radar imaging are drawn
