Title: Derived bathymetry from IKONOS satellite imagery of nearshore benthic habitats
Short Name: IKONOS DERIVED BATHY
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2016
Abstract:

Methods used were adapted from a "cookbook" of instructions developed by Kyle Hogref

for using IKONOS imagery data to derive seafloor elevations in optically clear

water. This dataset was derived from high-resolution (2 m) imagery from DigitalGlobe's

WorldView-2 sensor of the Kaanapali area of Maui, Hawaii. Sensor bands 1,2

and 5 (coastal, blue and near IR respectively) were used to derive depth information.

The method assumes uniform water clarity but deviations from that condition

made extraction difficult in water greater than 30 m depth in the Kaanapali scene

used. Results show that biotic material or sediment in the water column skewed results

shallower if the material has a high albedo and deeper if the material has a low

albedo. Nearshore areas were significantly less impacted in the Kaanapali area,

due to the geomorphology of the area and the hi resolution and quality of the imagery,

allowing visual descrimination of apparent sediment in the water column.

For presentation purposes the map product shows an Inverse Distance Weighted interpolated

bathymetry surface, restricted to data within 600 m of the shoreline.

Purpose:

DG WorldView-2 data are used as the base imagery to derived pseudobathymetry of the

Kaanapali area of Maui. This area has both SHOALS and multi-beam acoustic derived

bathymetry coverage and will provide an example case of the strengths and

weaknesses of pseudobathymetry extraction from high resolution satellite imagery methods.

Data Set Information

Data Set Scope Code: Data Set
Data Set Type: GIS dataset of raster files
Maintenance Frequency: None Planned
Data Presentation Form: Map (digital)
Entity Attribute Overview:

Depth values are real values based on the average of the

soundings that fell within the extracted grid cells. The number

of soundings per grid cell range from >1000 soundings in shallow

depths to as few as 20 soundings in deeper areas. A total error

budget for these data have not been developed. Therefore, the

accuracy of depth measurements should be considered to be within

1 meter.

NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) Data Sharing Recommendations, version 9.0 updated August 12, 2015:

CREP welcomes the opportunity to collaborate on research issues contributing to the scientific basis for better management of marine ecosystems. CREP has a very diverse set of field activities that generates large volumes of data using an array of data collection protocols.

The following recommendations are for your consideration as you use this data:

1) Data analyses should take all field exigencies into account. The most effective way to do this would be active collaboration with CREP principal investigators.

2) In all presentations, product releases, or publications using data generated by CREP, proper acknowledgement of both CREP and the individuals responsible for data collection is expected. Citing the DOI (if available) is preferred, a non-DOI example is listed below.

3) If you collect or generate data for the same study areas, CREP requests that you share relevant information on complimentary data collections.

4) Those receiving data are strongly urged to inform the CREP Data Management Team of any errors and discrepancies that are discovered during the course of using these data. They are further urged to bring to the attention of the Team all problems and difficulties encountered in using these data. This information is necessary in order to improve the collections and to facilitate more efficient and economical data processing and retrieval. The users are asked to supply copies of any missing data that may be located, and to provide information as to significant subsets and special aggregations of data that are developed in using the material provided.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 203692
Description:

Multiple tools in ENVI 4.8 were used to complete the following processing

steps: Data conversion from digital number to radiance, correction for

atmosphere and water surface reflection, linearization of spectral decay

as function of depth, masking of non-applicable values, and bathymetric

derivation using variables from multiple linear regression analysis. Multiple

tools in ArcGIS 10.0 were used for dataset integration and to extract values

for the multiple linear regression analysis and subsequent error analyses.

The statisitcs program Matlab was used for the multiple linear regression

analysis to provide original variables for depth derivation. The multivariate

slope intercept formula used to derive depth was D = a + (bi)(xi) + (bj)(xj)

Where: D = depth a = intercept b = slope x = the linearized spectral value

resulted in 7.8491 - 2.8696(b1) + 7.9593(b2) b1 is the output masked linearized

pictral value of each pixel of Coastal band b2 is the output masked linearized

pictral value of each pixel of Blue band More information on this integration

process is provided in the product error analysis, availble from PIBHMC upon

request. This mosaiced derived bathymetry product (JohDBall3) was then integrated

with the multibeam sonar data, with sonar data prioritized over derived data,

to create the final product (JohDB3MB). A detailed description of all processing

steps is available at: ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/website/webdocs/documentation/Cookbook_042108.pdf

An error analysis of each derived bathymetry grid used is available from PIBHMC upon request.

To produce the interpolated surface shown in the map, the floating point grid was

converted to a point shapefile in Arc GIS 9.3 using the 'float to raster' and 'raster

to point' tools in the Arc Toolbox. A buffer of 600m from the shoreline was created

and the derived bathymetry points were clipped to exclude data outside this buffer.

This distance was chosen to exclude areas of deeper water that were erroneously

returning shallow depth values, due to characteristics of the water column. An

Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation was run using 3D Analyst, to produce an

interpolated surface, with a grid cell size of 10 m, a variable search radius

with a maximum distance of 60 m, and using the coastline as a barrier. All other

settings used were default. The interpolated surface was clipped using the coastline

and a small number of isolated cells were manually deleted.
