SHALLOW BATHYMETRY ESTIMATION BASED ON LANDSAT 8 REMOTELY SENSED DATAAT BOHAI SEA

摘要

Bathymetry is a key variable in ocean monitoring and measurement research. It becomes more and more important for development of rapid method to invert shallow sea water depth. In this study, a water depth inversion method based on multi-band model is established to analyze the relationship between different bands of Landsat 8 OLI multi-spectral and measured data. The average absolute error of the model is 1.48m at 10–20m water depth and the average relative error is 13.12%. The water depth inversion accuracy under normal conditions are achieved, indicating that the model will have a promising practical application in the future.
