Derivative-neural spectroscopy for hyperspectral bathymetric inversion Academic Article

abstract

• Bathymetry is an important variable in scientific and operational applications. The research objectives in this study were to estimate bathymetry based on derivative reflectance spectra used as input to a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (ANN) and to evaluate the efficacy of field and simulated training/testing data. ANNs were used to invert reflectance field data acquired in optically shallow coastal waters. Results indicate that for the simulation-based models, nonderivative spectra yielded more accurate bathymetry retrievals than the derivative spectra used as ANN input. However, for the empirical field-based models, derivative spectra were superior to nonderivative spectra as ANN input. This study identifies circumstances under which derivative spectra are useful in bathymetry estimation, and thus increases the likelihood of obtaining accurate inversions. 2007 by Association of American Geographers.
