Abstract
This paper presents different mapping algorithms to discriminate river ice types using full-polarized C-band and dual-polarized X-band data. Field data are conjointly used with an electromagnetic river ice model to simulate backscattering response of river ice. Finally different classifications, proposed and tested, show encouraging results.
