OSIRRUS: Oceanic Symbolic Image Representation, Recognition and Understanding Software.

Abstract

Symbolic contours representing isotherms are used for shape and feature analysis of infrared oceanic satellite imagery. Techniques for detecting and analyzing oceanic thermal structures are presented. An effective image-processing technique called Image Modulation expedites time-consuming symbolic processing. Eddy-rings are successfully shape-recognized and false alarms are rule-discriminated. Verified eddy-rings are provided with a feature suite analysis useful for an automated image analysis work-station. Potential applications include Gulf Stream detection, symbolic image classification, image repair, and signal protection.
