Sea Ice Image Processing with MATLAB ®

Qin Zhang (Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway),Roger Skjetne

Sea Ice Image Processing with MATLAB addresses the topic of image processing for the extraction of key sea ice characteristics from digital photography, which is of great relevance for Artic remote sensing and marine operations. This valuable guide provides tools for quantifying the ice environment that needs to be identified and reproduced for such testing. This includes fit-for-purpose studies of existing vessels, new-build conceptual design and detailed engineering design studies for new developments, and studies of demanding marine operations involving multiple vessels and operational scenarios in sea ice. A major contribution of this work is the development of automated computer algorithms for efficient image analysis. These are used to process individual sea-ice images and video streams of images to extract parameters such as ice floe size distribution, and ice types. Readers are supplied with Matlab source codes of the algorithms for the image processing methods discussed in the book made available as online material.

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

Includes MATLAB ® codes useful not only for academics, but for ice engineers and scientists to develop tools applicable in different areas such as sustainable arctic marine and coastal technology research

Provides image processing techniques applicable to other fields like biomedicine, material science, etc
