RT Journal Article T1 Automatic measurement of water height in the As Conchas (Spain) reservoir using sentinel 2 and aerial LiDAR data A1 González Jorge, Higinio A1 González De Santos, Luis Miguel A1 Martínez Sánchez, Joaquín A1 Sánchez Rodríguez, Ana A1 Lorenzo Cimadevila, Henrique Remixio K1 2502.9 Cambio climático K1 3311.02 Ingeniería de Control AB A methodology for the measurement of height in water reservoirs is developed. It is based on Sentinel 2 imagery and aerial LiDAR data. The methodology is automatized using Matlab software and focused on image processing techniques (equalization, binarization, and edge detection) combined with LiDAR data processing (near neighbour search and height averaging). It is applied in a region of interest selected by the user characterized by a water–land interface. Results are validated in the As Conchas water reservoir (Spain) using an in situ sensing system provided by the Hydrographic Miño-Sil Confederation. The duration of the experiment was one year. The Sentinel 2 bands B2, B3, B4, and B8 were tested during this study. The best results for water height evaluation were obtained for band B8 (842 nm) with an error of 0.20 m and a standard deviation of 0.17 m. The time resolution of the technique depends on the Sentinel 2 revisit time. The time resolution and height accuracy could be improved using complementary satellite systems PB Remote Sensing SN 20724292 YR 2018 FD 2018-06-08 LK http://hdl.handle.net/11093/1629 UL http://hdl.handle.net/11093/1629 LA eng NO Remote Sensing, 10(6): 902 (2018) NO Xunta de Galicia | Ref.
