Integrating Depth Measurements From Gaging Stations With Image Archives for Spectrally Based Remote Sensing of River Bathymetry by Carl J. Legleiter, Brandon T. Overstreet, Paul J. Kinzel

“…This workflow involves retrieving depth measurements made during gaging station site visits, downloading archived multispectral images, and then combining these two data sets to establish a relationship between depth and reflectance. We developed a processing chain that involves using application programming interfaces to obtain both depth measurements made during site visits and images centered on the gage and then linking depth to reflectance via an optimal band ratio analysis (OBRA) algorithm modified for small sample sizes. …”
