Popis: Sunlight reflected on the moving sea surface, often referred to as glitter, is usually considered a hindrance to analysis of ocean scenes, and glitter removal algorithms are often employed in pre-processing of ocean imagery. However, glitter statistics can provide valuable insight into sea surface behavior, both from the standpoint of characterizing image clutter and gaining a better understanding of sea surface roughness. In this work, sun glitter is observed through shore-based video of the ocean collected at various optical wavelengths (visible and infrared), and various statistical properties of the collected video are analyzed.
