COMPARISON AND CO-REGISTRATION OF DEMS GENERATED FROM HiRISE AND CTX IMAGES

Sea ice cover is the most fundamental factor that indicates the underlying great changes in the Arctic. We propose novel sea ice cover data in high resolution of a few hundred meters by spaceborne synthetic aperture radar, which is more than 10 times that of the operational sea ice cover and concentration data. The method is based on a deep learning architecture of U-Net. We have been processing data acquired by Sentinel-1 since 2014 to obtain high-quality sea ice cover data in the Arctic.
