A New Method to Extract Internal Wave Parameters from SAR Imagery with Hilbert-Huang Transfrom
A new method to extract internal wave parameters from SAR imagery has been developed based on the Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT).Internal wave parameters have been retrieved from the ERS-1 SAR image in the Luzou strait.HHT is used to decompose the internal wave profile data.The internal wave component is extracted according to the maximum normalized deflection.The results show that the new method can not only extract the wavelength of internal waves
but also extract wave shapes modulated by the internal waves.The mean wavelengths of the internal waves are calculated in order to solve the 180° ambiguity of the internal wave direction.The half width of each soliton is calculated.The internal wave amplitudes retrieved by this new method are about 104m which is in agreement with Liu’s report.
