How Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) Technology Works
Our satellite bathymetry software transforms multispectral Sentinel-2 imagery into accurate underwater depth maps using advanced machine learning algorithms and optical remote sensing bathymetry techniques
Multispectral Satellite Data Acquisition
NAVBathy automatically retrieves optimal Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery for satellite derived bathymetry analysis, selecting the best scenes based on cloud coverage, water clarity, and atmospheric conditions to ensure high-quality optical bathymetry results.
Band Ratio & Machine Learning SDB Processing
Advanced satellite bathymetry algorithms analyze visible and near-infrared spectral bands using machine learning models trained on thousands of coastal areas. Our band ratio bathymetry techniques extract accurate depth information while compensating for water column properties and atmospheric effects.
