摘要: Sea ice monitoring and classification is one of the main applications Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing. C-band SAR imagery regarded as an optimal choice for sea applications; however, other frequencies has not been extensively assessed. In this study, we evaluate potential fully polarimetric L-band classifying during dry winter conditions compared to SAR. Twelve parameters are derived using sets C- capabilities discrimination between First Year Ice (FYI) Old (OI), which considered be a mixture Second (SYI) Multiyear (MYI), investigated. Feature vectors effective extracted used classification. Results indicate that provides high accuracy (98.99%) FYI OI in comparison obtained (82.17% 81.85%), expected. However, was found classify only MYI floes OI, while merging both SYI into separate class. This comes contrary SAR, classifies SYI. indicates new discriminating from by combining conditions.
