Science, resource management, and defense need algorithms capable of using airborne or
satellite imagery to accurately map bathymetry, water quality, and substrate composition in …

Bathymetry and the spatial distribution of benthic cover in coastal waters are of key
importance in managing and monitoring our coastal water environments. Currently very little …

In order to retrieve bathymetry, substratum type and the concentrations of the optically active
constituents of the water column, an integrated physics based mapping approach was …

Abstract Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is being adopted as a cheaper and more
spatially extensive method for bathymetric mapping than traditional acoustic surveys, with …

Hyperspectral instruments provide the spectral detail necessary for extracting multiple layers
of information from inherently complex coastal environments. We evaluate the performance …

Remote sensing is a valuable tool for rapid identification of benthic features in coastal
environments. Past applications have been limited, however, by multispectral models that …

Satellite derived bathymetry (SDB) enables rapid mapping of large coastal areas through
measurement of optical penetration of the water column. The resolution of bathymetric …

Hyperspectral remote sensing is now an established tool to determine shallow water
properties over large areas, usually by inverting a semi-analytical model of water …

In earlier studies of passive remote sensing of shallow-water bathymetry, bottom depths
were usually derived by empirical regression. This approach provides rapid data …

This study presents an assessment of a model inversion approach to derive shallow water
bathymetry in optically complex waters, with the aim of both understanding localised …
