Abstract
In this paper, a new approach to Mediterranean Water Eddy border detection is proposed. Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOM) are used as data mining tools to cluster image pixels through an unsupervised process. The clusters are visualized on the SOM internal map. From the visualization, the borders can be detected through an interactive way. As a result, interesting patterns are visible on the images. The proposed SOM approach is tested on Atlantic Ocean satellite data and compared with conventional gradient edge detectors.
