Abstract

To classify the landfast ice in the north of the Greenland, observation data, multifrequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and texture images were used. The total four types of sea ice are first year ice, highly deformed ice, ridge and moderately deformed ice. The texture images that were processed by K-means algorithm showed higher accuracy than the ones that were processed by SAR images; however, overall accuracy of maximum likelihood algorithm using texture images did not show the highest accuracy all the time. It turned out that when using K-means algorithm, the accuracy of the multi SAR images were higher than the single SAR image. When using the maximum likelihood algorithm, the results of single and multi SAR images are differ from each other, therefore, maximum likelihood algorithm method should be used properly.

그린란드 북쪽 정착빙 부근 해빙을 분류하기 위하여 현장 자료, 다중 주파수 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상, 텍스쳐 영상을 사용하였다. 해빙의 유형은 first year ice, highly deformed ice, ridge, moderately deformed ice 총 4개로 분류하였다. K-means 알고리즘을 사용하여 텍스쳐 영상으로 분류한 경우 SAR 영상을 사용했을 때 보다 전체 정확도가 높게 나타났으나, 최대 우도법(maximum likelihood) 알고리즘을 사용하였을 때 텍스쳐 영상의 전체 정확도는 때에 따라서 높게 나타났다. 단일 영상 및 다중 영상을 사용했을 때 결과를 비교하면, K-means 알고리즘을 사용했을 때는 다중 영상을 이용하는 것이 전체 정확도가 높게 나타났다. 최대 우도법 알고리즘을 사용했을 경우, 단일 영상을 사용했을 때와 다중 영상을 사용했을 때 클래스별 분류 정확도가 차이가 있어 단일 영상과 다중 영상을 적절하게 사용해야 한다고 판단된다.
