Description
Summary:The increased activities in arctic water warrant modelling of ice properties and ice-structure interaction forces to ensure safe operations of ships and offshore platforms. Several established analytical and numerical ice force estimation models can be found in the literature. Recently, researchers have been working on Machine Learning (ML) based, data-driven force predictors trained on experimental data and field measurement. Application of both traditional and ML-based image processing for extracting information from ice floe images has also been reported in recent literature; because extraction of ice features from real-time videos and images can significantly improve ice force prediction. However, there exists room for improvement in those studies. For example, accurate extraction of ice floe information is still challenging because of their complex and varied shapes, colour similarities and reflection of light on them. Besides, real ice floes are often found in groups with overlapped and/or connected ...
