Automated Quantification of Surface Water Inundation in Wetlands Using Optical Satellite Imagery

Automated Quantification of Surface Water Inundation in Wetlands Using Optical Satellite Imagery

We present a fully automated and scalable algorithm for quantifying surface water inundation in wetlands. Requiring no external training data, our algorithm estimates sub-pixel water fraction (SWF) over large areas and long time periods using Landsat data. We tested our SWF algorithm over three wetl...
