GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ICE FLOES FROM TANDEM-X IMAGE

摘要

The main objective of this work is to utilize Genetic Algorithm for Ice floes automatic detection using TanDEM-X image. The data acquired along the coast of October Revolution Island. The study shows that genetic algorithm provides accurate pattern of ice covers, ice boundaries and ice melting in TanDEM-X image. Genetic algorithm is also able to distinguish between two glacier tongues into the sea. It can therefore be concluded genetic algorithm can be used as automatic tool for ice covers automatic detection. Further, genetic algorithm can be used as excellent tool for 3-D ice floes in TanDEM-x data.
