Real-time radar detection of iceberg shadows
Abstract
The Hough transform is used to estimate the radial direction of shadows cast by icebergs in surface-based marine radar returns using a Warp systolic computer. Automatically locating these shadows leads directly to automatically locating the icebergs casting the shadows. This is useful for the unattended navigation of a vessel through sea ice, as well as for improving the accuracy of a classified sea-ice image. The results reported show that the …
