Two techniques for automated sea ice tracking: image pyramids (hierarchical correlation) and feature tracking were applied to a pair of SEASAT SAR sea ice images. The results compare well with each other and manually tracked estimates of the ice velocity field. Refinement of the image pyramid techni...
