Navigation assistance for ice-infested waters through automatic iceberg detection and ice classification based on TerraSAR-X imagery
Over the last three decades, the Arctic summer sea ice coverage has decreased significantly. This trend is expected to continue due to persistent climate change. Besides increased research efforts in this field, this phenomenon has also attracted attention from maritime end-users. To keep Arctic shi...
