We present an algorithm discriminating ice from open water on icy lakes using multispectral data from Landsat 8. Lakes are first extracted from the images using a new radiometric index coined ILI (Icy Lakes Index) which uses the stability of the reflectance of water and ice in the shortwave infrared bands. Quantitative comparisons to state-of-the-art indexes such as the Modified Normalised Difference Water Index (MNDWI) or the Water Ratio Index (WRI) show the ILI separates mixed ice/ water bodies from land better than the current indexes, consistently achieving kappa coefficients (.) above 0.93 with manually labelled reference data. Additionally, these results suggest that the ILI has a very high optimal threshold stability, compared to other indexes. In the delineated lake area, we perform a supervised classification with a decision tree using radiometric properties, but also texture properties such as the local standard deviations and average gradients in each band. A key feature of this classification is the Water-Ice Classification Index (WICI), also texture-based, which discriminates shallow water from ice efficiently. We prove the robustness of our classification algorithm by comparing its results to manually digitised reference data, but also to concurrent Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data in the case of Lake Ladoga. In both cases, the comparison leads to. ranging from 0.84 to 0.97.
