Mapping Multidecadal Morphological Variability Via Satellite Derived Bathymetries

This paper outlines a novel approach to calibrating satellite derived relative depth surfaces generated using the ratio transform algorithm first proposed by Stumpf et al. The method utilizes raster image equal interval classification to generate depth classes and to identify both the upper and lower limits of sensitivity to the depth signal within the relative depth models. The method was trialed on a multidecadal set of Landsat images for a coastal compartment on the SE Australian coast.
