A pixel-based methodology has been established for automatic identification of icebergs in satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired during different seasons and for different seaice conditions. This includes, in particular, smaller icebergs (longitudinal axis 100m to 18.5 km). Invest...
