This study aims to address the challenge of insufficient feature extraction from remote sensing data in nearshore water depth inversion. To achieve this, a convolutional neural network with spatial location integration (CNN-SLI) is proposed. The CNN-SLI is designed to extract deep features from remote sensing data by considering the spatial dimension. In this approach, the spatial location information of pixels is utilized as two additional channels, which are concatenated with the input feature image. The resulting concatenated image data are then used as the input for the convolutional neural network. Using GF-6 remote sensing images and measured water depth data from electronic nautical charts, a nearshore water depth inversion experiment was conducted in the waters near Nanshan Port. The results of the proposed method were compared with those of the Lyzenga, MLP, and CNN models. The CNN-SLI model demonstrated outstanding performance in water depth inversion, with impressive metrics: an RMSE of 1.34 m, MAE of 0.94 m, and R2 of 0.97. It outperformed all other models in terms of overall inversion accuracy and regression fit. Regardless of the water depth intervals, CNN-SLI consistently achieved the lowest RMSE and MAE values, indicating excellent performance in both shallow and deep waters. Comparative analysis with Kriging confirmed that the CNN-SLI model best matched the interpolated water depth, further establishing its superiority over the Lyzenga, MLP, and CNN models. Notably, in this study area, the CNN-SLI model exhibited significant performance advantages when trained with at least 250 samples, resulting in optimal inversion results. Accuracy evaluation on an independent dataset shows that the CNN-SLI model has better generalization ability than the Lyzenga, MLP, and CNN models under different conditions. These results demonstrate the superiority of CNN-SLI for nearshore water depth inversion and highlight the importance of integrating spatial location information into convolutional neural networks for improved performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23208493","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]],"date-time":"2023-10-16T08:32:57Z","timestamp":1697445177000},"page":"8493","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A Convolutional Neural Network with Spatial Location Integration for Nearshore Water Depth Inversion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Chunlong","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Qigang","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Guofang","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenchao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoexploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"102693","article-title":"Automated high-resolution satellite-derived coastal bathymetry mapping","volume":"107","author":"McCarthy","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
