%0 Journal Article %T SINGLE-PASS SEA/ICE DISCRIMINATION USING ERS-2 SCATTEROMETER DATA %A Neyt %A Xavier %A Pettiaux %A Pauline %A Manise %A Nicolas %A Acheroy %A Marc %J Gayana (Concepci¨®n) %D 2004 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.4067/S0717-65382004000300021 %X this paper presents a new method to perform sea/ice discrimination in single-pass ers-2 scatterometer data. existing methods are 1rst reviewed and compared in a consistent framework. next, the ice probability according to the individual existing methods is learned through the use of a neural network. finally, the individual criteria are combined together in order to increase the sea-ice discrimination accuracy. the proposed method is shown to provide an acceptable performance even on single-pass data, i.e., without requiring temporal averaging %K scatterometry %K ice discrimination %K neural network. %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0717-65382004000300021&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
