Assessment of Sentinel‐2A multispectral image for benthic habitat composition mapping [PDF]
IET Image Processing, 2020 Sentinel‐2A accuracy for benthic habitat composition mapping was tested and compared to ALOS AVNIR‐2. Aerial image acquired using custom‐made unmanned aerial vehicle was used to train and validate the model. The mapping was conducted regardless of the benthic class and at individual benthic class. Benthic habitat class spatial distribution was obtained
