Detecting Arctic Icebergs in Sea Ice in L-Band SAR Images Using a Multiscale CFAR Algorithm

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
This study proposes a multiscale extension of the well-known constant false alarm rate (CFAR) outlier detection method for the detection of icebergs in L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The proposed method offers the possibility to accurately

Recognizing Global Dams From High-Resolution Remotely Sensed Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Dams constructed by humans are important facilities for irrigation, flood control, and power generation. Recognizing the location and number of dams is crucial for studying the impact of human activities on ecosystem change.

The impact of hidden liquidity in limit order books [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We report evidence that the presence of hidden liquidity is associated with greater liquidity in the order books, greater trading volume, and smaller price impact.

Subaperture analysis of polarimetric SAR data for iceberg detection [PDF]

open access: yes2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
This paper is focused on investigations of the improved detection of icebergs in open water using spectral analysis of polarimetric SAR data. The objectives of this study are to analyze the behavior of ice objects in open water using the sublook cross-correlation magnitude (SCM). It is shown that there is an improvement of iceberg-sea contrast when the

Ship-Iceberg Discrimination in Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imagery by Supervised Classification

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
The European Space Agency Sentinel-2 satellites provide multispectral images with pixel sizes down to 10 m. This high resolution allows for fast and frequent detection, classification and discrimination of various objects in the sea, which is relevant in

Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many of which are ...

Transmission dynamics of the etiological agent of SARS in Hong Kong: impact of public health interventions.

open access: yes, 2003
We present an analysis of the first 10 weeks of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in Hong Kong. The epidemic to date has been characterized by two large clusters-initiated by two separate "super-spread" events (SSEs)-and by ongoing ...

The inheritance of resistance to bacterial leaf spot of lettuce caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians in three lettuce cultivars. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lettuce yields can be reduced by the disease bacterial leaf spot (BLS) caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians (Xcv) and host resistance is the most feasible method to reduce disease losses. The cultivars La Brillante, Pavane and Little
