Optimal Compact Polarimetric Parameters and Texture Features for Discriminating Sea Ice Types during Winter and Advanced Melt

C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is widely used for sea ice monitoring and operational activities. The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), with its anticipated launch in 2018, will provide hybrid compact polarimetric (CP) C-band SAR data offering near-polarimetric capabilities at large image...
