1 Ocean Surface Drift by Wavelet Tracking Using ERS-2 and ENVISAT SAR Images
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Historically, ocean surface feature tracking analyses have been based on data from a single orbital sensor collected over its revisit interval of a lone, low-Earth orbital satellite. Today, ocean surface currents are being derived by performing feature tracking using data from the same type of sensors on different satellites. With all-weather, day/night imaging capability, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) penetrates clouds, smoke, haze, and darkness to acquire high quality images of the Earth’s surface. The ability of a SAR to provide valuable information on the type, condition, and motion of the sea-ice, ships and surface signatures of swells, wind fronts, oil slicks, and eddies has been amply demonstrated [Liu and Wu, 2001]. This makes SAR the frequent sensor of choice for cloudy coastal regions. At present, there are three major synthetic aperture radars in orbit. Radarsat-1, the first Canadian remote sensing satellite, was launched in November 1995. Radarsat-1 has a ScanSAR mode with a 500 km wide swath and a 100 m resolution. The ERS-2, having a conventional SAR with a swath of 100 km and a resolution of 25 m, was launched in April 1995 by ESA. Envisat-1 2 with an Advanced SAR (either conventional narrow swath or wide swath of 405 km with 150 m

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
