Mapping of seagrass and other benthic habitats in Bolinao, Pangasinan using Worldview-2 satellite image

Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the suitability of Worldview-2 high resolution multispectral data in classifying and mapping benthic habitats, specifically seagrass. Worldview-2 offers an increased number of spectral bands for high-resolution image, from the traditional 4bands to 8 bands. It boasts of the ability to enhance mapping and monitoring of benthic habitats with the addition of the Coastal Band. This was investigated in this research using a Worldview-2 image of Bolinao, Pangasinan acquired on March 2010. The study site, Bolinao, has the highest single concentration of seagrass in the northern part of the Philippines. To achieve more accurate results, geometric, atmospheric and water column corrections were applied to the images. For geometric correction, a Differential Global Positioning System Topcon Hiper Ga model receiver was used to obtain highly accurate ground control points. Atmospheric correction was performed in ENVI using the Fast Line-of-Sight Atmospheric Analysis (FLAASH) model. Three water column correction models were applied and compared in this research, Lyzenga's Optical Model, Stumpf's Ratio Model and Simple Radiative Transfer Model. A spectral library was created using in situ reflected spectral radiances on both submerged and emerged vegetation to aid in image classification. Different benthic covers, seagrass, sand, corals and rocks are significantly separable spectrally based on spectral signatures obtained on field using a USB 4000 Fiber Optic Spectrometer. Maximum likelihood supervised classification in ENVI 4.8 is utilized for mapping. Using Worldview 2's coastal, green, yellow and red bands and applying the Simple Radiative Transfer Model produced the highest overall accuracy (88.3%) among the classification results. Using the same bands, Stumpf's Ratio Model produced 87.84% overall accuracy while Lyzenga's optical model achieved 75.54%. Moran's I spatial autocorrelation was implemented to increase the classification accuracy. Using lag 1 slightly increased Stumpf's Model's overall accuracy, from 87.84% to 88.08% while using lags 5 and 10 decreased the overall accuracy with 83.91% and 84.25% respectively.

Quantifying exceptionally large populations of <I>Acropora</I> spp. corals off Belize using sub-meter satellite imagery classification

“…Advantages and disadvantages of many of the platforms have been assessed for coral reef specific applications (Mumby et al 2004). Techniques previously employed by others to characterize marine benthic habitats and coral reef communities include hand-held or boat-towed optical reflectance spectrometry and hyperspectral remote sensing (Holden and LeDrew 1998, Hochberg and Atkinson 2000, Louchard et al 2003, Kutser and Jupp 2006, Suffianidris et al 2009, Leiper et al 2012, boat-based digital imaging (Lidz et al 2008, Lidz andZawada 2013), airborne and space imaging (Andréfouët et al 2001, 2003, Mumby and Edwards 2002, Rowlands et al 2008, Mishra et al 2006, Tamondong et al 2013, combinations of optical reflectance spectrometry and airborne hyperspectral imaging (Leiper et al 2014), combinations of spectral modeling and space imaging (Lubin et al 2001), integrated satellite imagery and ecological time-series data (Purkis and Riegl 2005), and the multifaceted integration of satellite, aerial, ground, and acoustic methods (Purkis et al 2008, Rowlands et al 2012.…”

Klasifikasi Habitat Bentik Perairan Dangkal Dari Citra Worldview-2 Menggunakan Data in-Situ Dan Drone

“…Berdasarkan hasil penelitian sebelumnya terkait pemetaan habitat bentik perairan dangkal dengan algoritma maximum likelihood pada citra resolusi tinggi seperti Siregar (2010) dapat memetakan habitat bentik dengan akurasi 79% untuk 6 kelas habitat dengan menggunakan Citra Quickbird. Tamondong et al (2013) dan Kabiria et al (2018) Congalton & Green (2009) nilai Z-test antara nilai -1,96 sampai dengan 1,96 merupakan kategori akurasi yang berada pada distribusi normal.…”
