Abstract

We investigate the reliability of a semi-automated system designed to locate the Maltese front from satellite A VHRR and SAR imagery. The opening and closing operations of mathematical morphology afford a means of image segmentation that provides smooth, strong, continuous edges except where the edges are obscured by clouds or similar phenomena. We evaluate the results by comparing them with front positions found by experienced Navy analysts. Our system provides an objective method for front location that is less laborintensive than manual methods currently in use.
