Abstract
: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides abundant data for the research of eddies. It is important to effectively extract the information of eddies from the SAR images. In this paper, we present a method based on logarithmic spiral edge fitting for the extraction of information from SAR images, and it is capable of extracting the eddy center, eddy diameter, and the size of the eddy edge. Based on this method, an experiment is conducted to extract eddy information from a sequence of SAR images acquired by ENVISAT ASAR and ERS-2. The information pertaining to two eddies and their movements can be obtained. The validity of the method can be verified by making comparisons with the pseudo-color composite results.
