Description
Summary:The described work in the areas of hydrology and polar ice defines possible uses of automatic picture processing of uncalibrated radar images. The data used in the study were collected with the aid of an L-band synthetic aperture radar mounted in the NASA CV-990 aircraft. The radar was operated at approximately 30,000 feet altitude. One study area used was located in the Beaufort Sea and contained sea ice. The other study area contained lakes on the Alaskan North Slope. The reported investigations demonstrate that certain types of features can be efficiently studied by using simple automatic picture processing techniques applied to uncalibrated radar data.
