    Introduction
    Accurate determination
    of bathymetry is
    important both for the
    purposes of monitoring
    underwater topography
    and for producing
    nautical charts.
    Remote sensing
    bathymetry offers
    flexible, efficient, and
    cost-effective means of
    mapping bathymetry
    over broad areas.

    Remote Sensing Categories


    Remote sensing of
    bathymetry takes
    several forms.
    Categories of remote
    sensing include:
    - Imaging
    - Non-imaging

    Imaging Techniques
    Remote sensing
    imaging techniques
    base the estimation of
    water depth on the
    pixel values of an
    image.
    They make use of
    microwave radiation
    and visible light.

    Microwave
    Captures variations in
    sea surface roughness
    to determine
    bathymetry.
    As a result of its
    vulnerability to wind
    influences,
    microwaves accuracy
    is rather low.

    Video
    Provides continuous

    beach bathymetry and
    to survey shoreline
    elevations less than
    15 cm.

    LIDAR
    Also known as optical
    radar or laser radar.
    Transmits high-power
    pulses of laser light at
    short intervals over an
    area.
    Water depth is
    measured from the
    two-way travel time of
    a pulse.
