Module $3$ Project: Analyzing Ice Melt

In this project, you$$ll play the role of a scientist using satellite images to study climate change. You$$ve been provided with two images of the same region in Antarctica taken two years apart. The first image was captured in January of $2018$ and the second image was taken in January of $2020.$ Your goal is to calculate how much more water from melting is visible in the image taken two years after the first.

Your task is to create a function that segments the water so you can compare the two image.

Choose one of the images and use the Color Thresholder app to segment the image such that areas that are water are labeled true in the resulting binary image.

Generate the segmentation function and apply it to the other ice shelf image.

If you$$re satisfied with the performance of your function on both images, copy your function code into the online grader in the next section for assessment. Otherwise, go back to the Color Thresholder app and try a new approach on one of the images.
