Evaluation of sea ice concentration algorithm for SAR data from the Bay of Bothnia
Other conference contribution, 2010

A sea ice coverage algorithm has been developed for C-band SAR data. It has been tested with images from ENVISAT ASAR in Wide Swath Mode (WSM) over the Bay of Bothnia and the Svalbard region. The algorithm is based on autocorrelation in combination with Otsu’s thresholding method. Ice charts over the Bay of Bothnia have been used for a qualitative validation of the results.
