Bathymetry analysis with use of Sentinel-2 images
Abstract
Bathymetry is described as Sea and Ocean depth measurements, and performed by many methods. Traditional methods, which are still used from the past to the present, have been replaced by modern methods with the development of technology. Sonar systems, LIDAR and remote sensing systems are listed as examples of these modern methods. The use of acoustic systems or LIDAR, are not economical in terms of both time and cost. In this study, remote sensing methods are investigated in order to minimize the time and cost. It is aimed to extract the information about bathymetry with use of free of charge satellite images. The method data used includes Sentinel-2 satellite images taken at different wavelengths and reference bathymetry values. Later, regression analyzes were made by using these data in band ratio and multi-band methods. By using the coefficients obtained by the regression analysis, the bathymetry estimation was made in places with unknown depth using the above methods without the need for reference depth.Band ratio and multi-band methods are used, and the results were evaluated. Bathymetric maps obtained from two methods were analyzed with the ground-truth values of the region and the amount of error was calculated. The highest accuracy was obtained from the ratio of blue band to green band. It has been observed that the red band has a disruptive effect.
