Abstract:<p><strong>Abstract:</strong>&#160;The iceberg freeboard is an important geometric parameter for measuring the thickness of the iceberg and then estimating its volume. Based on the fact that the iceberg can cast elongated shadow on the surface of sea ice in winter, this paper proposes a method to measure the iceberg freeboard using shadow length and the predefined or estimated solar elevation angle. Three Landsat-8 panchromatic images are selected to test our m… Show more
