30 Chart 30 Summary and Conclusions TerraSAR-X based ice type products have been delivered to ships By the selection of significant texture features (particularly GLCM features) different structures in ice are revealed. A neural network performs the classification. Iceberg Detection Service Established Product Delivery in NRT about 15 min - provide a new NRT service for ship routing in ice infested areas using ice products - participate in validation campaigns - Use SAR multisensor products - Use Meteo Marine Parameters, e.g., sea state as well in ice generated ice chart observed ice situation (manual interpretation) 20 km 20 km
