They are also of great significance for terrain surveys of islands and coastal zones, maritime navigation and marine management planning. Traditional ship-borne water depth measurement methods are costly and time-consuming, therefore, in recent years, passive optical remote sensing technology has become an important means for shallow water depth measurements. In addition, multispectral water depth optical remote sensing has wide application values. Considering the relationship between water depth and the inherent optical characteristics of water column, an inherent optical parameters linear model (IOPLM) is developed to estimate shallow water bathymetry from high spatial resolution multispectral images. Experiments were carried out in the shallow waters (\u226420 m) around Dongdao Island in China\u2019s Paracel Islands and Saipan Island in the Northern Mariana Islands. Different accuracy evaluation indexes were used to verify the model. The comparisons with the traditional log-linear model and the Stumpf model show that in terms of overall accuracy and accuracy in different water depths, the IOPLM has slightly better results and stronger retrieval capabilities than the other models. The mean absolute error (MAE) of Dongdao Island and Saipan Island reached 1.17 m and 1.92 m, and the root mean square error (RMSE) was 1.49 m and 2.4 m, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12183027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]],"date-time":"2020-09-17T08:29:43Z","timestamp":1600331383000},"page":"3027","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Shallow Water Bathymetry Based on Inherent Optical Properties Using High Spatial Resolution Multispectral Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xuechun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geographical Science, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010010, China"},{"name":"Lab of Marine Physics and Remote Sensing, First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lab of Marine Physics and Remote Sensing, First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9120-7354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lab of Marine Physics and Remote Sensing, First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Goodman, J.A., Lay, M., Ramirez, L., Ustin, S.J., and Haverkamp, P.J.
