Abstract

In the field of coastal studies, water quality and water depth estimates are very important. However, an estimation of the pollution in the sea using point sampling techniques is very difficult. Further, bathymetric surveying of shallow water areas by conventional ship-board sounding is slow and dangerous and needs expensive devices such as a sonar and a ship with very shallow draught. As a result, optical remote sensing is considered
