Abstract:

Chinese meteorological satellite FY-1D can obtain global data from four spectral channels which include visible channel (0.58-0.68 μm) and infrared channels (0.84-0.89 μm, 10.3-11.3 μm, 11.5-12.5 μm). 2366 snow and ice samples, 2024 cloud samples,1602 land samples and 1648 water samples were selected randomly from Arctic imageries. Land and water can be detected by spectral features. Snow-ice and cloud can be classified by textural features. The classifier is Bayes classifier. By synthesizing five d ays classifying result of Arctic snow and ice cover area, complete Arctic snow and ice cover area can be obtained. The result agrees with NOAA/NESDIS IMS products up to 70%.
