Assessing Ship Sizes using SAR – Practical Application of Mathematic Morphology

Based on the paper by M. Stasolla and H. Greidanus from 2016, a workflow is followed to estimate ship sizes based on Sentinel-1 imagery. Most importantly, a fundamental element in their workflow is the usage of mathematical morphology to “clean” the SAR image in order to estimate the real-world boundaries of ships
