Measurement of water bodies area by remote sensing

Abstract

The water basin surface area measurement technique presented in this paper is based on remotely sensed images and aims at providing an efficient support for various hydrological studies, expecially during emergencies. The procedure uses the ERDAS (version 7.4) code to process Landsat TM images and accounts for both pure and mixed pixel contributions. To validate the procedure, the ground truth data regarding several artificial basins of ENEL (Italian Electricity Board) were used. This approach turned out to be particularly successful. Comparative tests are now in progress to evaluate the improvement in accuracy obtainable by using images with better geometrical resolution.
