Optical calibration, bathymetry, water column correction and bottom typing of shallow marine areas, using passive remote sensing imageries Busy? 4SM in 10 lines Review of some papers collected on the net This review shows how hot this area of R&D still is! return to 4SM Study Cases

Lyzenga's own method the log-linear bathymetric inversion for dummies
"Assuming that the ratio of bottom reflectance between two spectral bands is constant for all bottom types within a given scene..."
"In areas with dark substrate where radiance (L) is lower than deepwater radiance L∞, depths cannot be derived from the log-linear inversion mode" How about 4SM? ==>YES we can! |
Stumpf's own method, extended by the authors the non-linear automated calibration for dummies "Calibration of Non-linear Inversion Model Based on Levenberg-Marquardt Method"
"SHOALS system for ground-truth depth points with which to calibrate and compare the performance of the two bathymetric inversion models"
"the non-linear inversion model is more robust and accurate than the the conventional log-linear inversion model for relatively deep areas"
"As shown in our assessment, the predicted-depth accuracy from IKONOS satellite images is about 1–2 m for shallow (0–15 m deep) substrates and about 3 m for deeper (15– 20 m deep) substrates. This level of vertical accuracy is generally considered inadequate for navigational purposes in shallow waters. However, the derived bathymetric information is useful for many scienti?c and practical coastal management applications."

The authors set out to map bathymetry and changes of bottom types |

I wish I'd be viven the opportunity to show what 4SM can do on your WV2 image of Heron Island |
Jeremy KERR is with NOOA's NCRI in Florida This is DigitalGlobe's 8-bands challenge
==> same process as in 4SM
==> this is a pain; can't we avoid that please, for sake of operationality? YES we can in 4SM
I wish I'd be given the opportunity to process this image using 4SM |
