A complete methodology is proposed for automatic tracking of sea-ice in daylight AVHRR data. Two aspects are specially outlined: the use of partially cloudy monocular images and the estimation of ice pack trajectories along an image sequence. First, a classification technique is applied for the detection of snow-ice regions. Then, an optimal matching filter is used for the sea-ice motion estimation. The derived vector field is homogeneous and shows the ice pack motion along three days image data.
