**6. Wavelet analysis for ice classification in SAR imagery**

Automation in river ice image classification assists the ice experts in extracting geophysical information from the increasing volume of images. Rivers and streams are the key elements in the terrestrial re-distribution of water. An ice cover has significant impact on rivers such as modifies ecosystem, affects microclimate, cause flooding, restrict navigation, impact hydropower generation. The regions that are affected by ice are fishing industry, coastal zone and lake water levels and navigation.
