EisKlass2 — Towards automated production of ice chart information

The aim of EisKlass2 was to develop new techniques for automated production of sea-ice information based on satellite earth observation. The new ice information product will be a supplement to conventional ice charts and is thus suited for navigational support of ships in polar waters. The provided ice information will help to plan routes of polar operating ships more safely and to avoid dangerous situations more effectively. Eisklass-2 was a follow-up project of the mFUND FL1 project EisKlass31 (led by König und Partner) and ran from 06/2020 to 12/2023.

The project was led by Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) and supported by our partners at Ocean Atmosphere Systems (O.A.Sys), The Inversion Lab and König und Partner Fernerkundung GbR.

Within the project Drift+Noise led the work packages User Interaction and User Client.
