Sea Ice Image Processing with MATLAB aims to present the most recent image processing techniques, including the gradient vector flow snake algorithm to identify individual ice floes from the ice images. It makes extensive use of this powerful technique to extract or estimate the sea-ice parameters and to develop tools useful to scientists and engineers. This book includes MATLAB codes available for download on a companion site, which are useful for academics, ice engineers, and scientists to develop tools applicable in different areas such as sustainable Arctic marine and coastal technology research.
Features
- Presents the first systematic work using image processing techniques to identify ice floe size distribution from aerial images
- Helps identify individual ice floe and obtain floe size distributions for Arctic offshore operations and transportation
- Explains specific algorithms that can be combined to solve various problems during polar sea ice investigations
- Provides image processing techniques applicable to other fields like biomedicine, material science, etc.
