Multispectral Imagery Support for Ocean Venture 90

Abstract

The Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory's Mapping, Charting and Geodesy Division performs research and development in new and improved methods for gathering navigational bathymetric data in coastal areas. One area of special interest is the development of algorithms to derive bathymetry from multispectral data. Currently, multispectral imagery can be derived from airborne scanners or from satellite sensors, such as the thematic mapper on board Landsat. Multispectral bathymetry has the potential for gathering data much more rapidly that present shipboard systems; in particular, satellite systems can gather data from many parts of the world that are denied to other collection systems. This report presents the results of applying multispectral bathymetry algorithms and image enhancement and classification techniques developed at NOARL to support a joint amphibious exercise. (jhd)
