Canadian Hydrographic Conference 2020, Québec City/Canada

The CHC is a biennial conference hosted by the CHA alternating with the Hydrographic Society of America’s (THSOA) US Hydrographic Conference. These two events are the premier Hydrographic conferences in North America. EOMAP representative Dr. Knut Hartmann will talk on Tuesday, February 25, in Room 2000A at 10:45 a.m.: Towards monitoring of shallow waters for higher latitudes regions In this presentation we will focus on highlighting current methods and tools being deployed towards the ambition to map and monitor the shallow water environment in higher latitudes: this includes (1) the automatic selection of satellite data recordings which allow for SDB analysis. We introduce machine learning methods for this task. (2) Smart tasking of very-high resolution satellite data. We present methods to increase the likelihood of recording commercial, very-high resolution satellite data. (3) SDB calculation and shoreline mapping. We present highly automated SDB data processors, together with, results of the physics-based light inversion and simultaneous multi-image analysis. And finally (4) we demonstrate of how all these procedures can be embedded in an operational cloud environment, controlled and managed through a web interface.
