Application of Hyperspectral Imaging to Underwater Habitat Mapping, Southern Adriatic Sea [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Hyperspectral imagers enable the collection of high-resolution spectral images exploitable for the supervised classification of habitats and objects of interest (OOI). Although this is a well-established technology for the study of subaerial environments,

Assessing the use of harmonized multisource backscatter data for thematic benthic habitat mapping
Science of Remote Sensing, 2021 Legacy seabed mapping datasets are increasingly common as the need for detailed seabed information is recognized. Acoustic backscatter data from multibeam echosounders can be a useful surrogate for seabed properties and are commonly used for benthic ...
