Motion tracking of sea ice with SAR satellite data
For the last thirty years, sea ice kinematics have been studied continuously over large areas, but with coarse spatial resolutions. In the framework of this dissertation, the author implemented and modified an algorithm for the observation of high resolution sea ice motion from satellite imagery. Em...
