Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) computer visualization has tremendous demands for complex phenomena studies. Coastal waters are considered as complex system because of they are dominated by complex system. In this regard, this study aims to present a method that is based on fuzzy B-spline to reconstruct 3D of coastal water phenomena such as front from two-dimensional RADARSAT-1 SAR data. In doing so, fuzzy B-spline algorithm is integrated with Volterra model and velocity bunching model. Volterra algorithm is used to determine the sea surface current along the front zone while velocity bunching model implemented to acquire the information about significant wave height. fuzzy B-spline reconstructed 3-D front with smooth graphic feature. Indeed, fuzzy B-spline tracked the smooth and rough surface. Finally, fuzzy B-spline algorithm can keep track of uncertainty with representing spatially clustered gradient of flow points across the front. In conclusion, the fuzzy B-spline algorithm can be used for 3-D front reconstruction with integration of velocity bunching and Volterra algorithm.
