Multimodel Combination Bathymetry Inversion Approach Based on Geomorphic Segmentation in Coral Reef Habitats Using ICESat-2 and Multispectral Satellite Images by Xiuling Zuo, Juncan Teng, Fenzhen Su, Zhengxian Duan, Kefu Yu

“…Taking 11 coral reefs of Xisha Islands (ocean area of 607 km²) in the South China Sea as the study area, a parametric multimodel combination approach based on geomorphic segmentation (PMCGS) for obtaining bathymetry was constructed by combining the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) data with Gaofen-1 (GF-1) medium- and Worldview-2/3 (WV-2/3) high-resolution multispectral images. …”

Assessment of atmospheric correction methods in MSI imagery for deriving bathymetry and substrates of shallow-water coral reefs by Wei Huang, Wei Huang, Wei Huang, Wei Huang, Jun Zhao, Mingjie Li, Mingjie Li, Mingjie Li, Quansheng Lou, Quansheng Lou, Nanyang Yan, Nanyang Yan, Nanyang Yan, Shaojie Sun

“…In this study, three commonly used AC processors—Dark Spectrum Fitting (DSF), Case 2 Regional Coast Color processor (C2RCC), and Polymer—were applied to evaluate their performance on Sentinel-2 MSI imagery of coral reef areas in the Xisha Islands, South China Sea. Since the latter two processors incorporate a sunglint removal approach, additional procedures were applied to DSF. …”
