A Parallel Workflow for Polar Sea-Ice Classification using Auto-labeling of Sentinel-2 Imagery

arXiv:2403.13135v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: The observation of the advancing and retreating pattern of polar sea ice cover stands as a vital indicator of global warming. This research aims to develop a robust, effective, and scalable system for classifying polar sea ice as thick/snow-covered, young/thin, or open water using Sentinel-2 (S2) images. Since the S2 satellite is actively capturing high-resolution imagery over the earth's surface, there are lots of images that need to be classified. One major obstacle is the …
