BathySent – An Innovative Method to Retrieve Global Coastal Bathymetry from Sentinel-2

Prime company: BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GEOLOGIQUES ET MINIERES (BRGM) (FR)

The BathySent project aims at the development of an automated method for mapping coastal bathymetry (water depths) on the basis of Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. The interest of using Sentinel-2 data lies on the capacity to cover large areas (National and European scale targeted), while benefiting from the high repeat cycle (5 days) of the mission. …
