There is global need for renewable energies and wave energy converters provide a promising method to generate energy without generating green house gases. Thus there is a global interest to increase the efficiency of wave energy converters. The wave energy converter utilizes the energy produced by ocean waves to drive a mechanical device to generate electricity. This paper aims to increase the efficiency of current wave energy converters by providing a space-frequency filterbank analysis of satellite images to estimate incident ocean wave frequency.
