Deep learning models outperform ML for transferable satellite bathymetry

Researchers have compared machine learning and deep learning models for satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB), focusing on their ability to transfer knowledge across different geographical regions. The study found that deep learning models, particularly CNNs like ResNet and ConvNeXt, demonstrated superior performance and transferability compared to traditional Random Forest models. Key improvements included optimizing training data continuity and using a weighted RMSE loss function, which significantly reduced errors, especially in shallower waters. AI

IMPACT Deep learning models show promise for more robust and scalable satellite-derived bathymetry, potentially improving coastal mapping accuracy across diverse regions.

    From Local Training to Large-Scale Mapping: A Comparative Assessment of Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Transferable Satellite-Derived Bathymetry

    arXiv:2606.02764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) from multispectral imagery is cost-effective but scales poorly across regions, especially in optically complex coastal environments. We evaluate machine learning and deep learning for transferable …
