Abstract:A remote sensing technique, based on processing satellite altimeter data, for iceberg detection was validated and implemented for operational iceberg monitoring. Algorithms for altimeter data preprocessing and analysis were developed to efficiently detect icebergs and eliminate false detections caused by signal noise and the presence of small islands. Results of iceberg detection for application in ship navigation are demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
