Abstract:

Extraction of wave parameters such as wavelength and direction on radar images is normaly done using fast Fourier transforms (FFT) on typical image size of 256 ? 256 which may not be appropriate to study nearshore wave patterns. This paper presents a new 2-D spectral estimation technique based on the theory of linear prediction which can perform 2-D spectral estimates on small 32 ? 32 images. We also describe an experiment which occurred in the summer of 1990 to test this methodology in a coastal environment and present some preliminary observations on the acquired data set.
