HydroBound-ML: Automated Water-Surface-Mask Generation for Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Processing Using Hybrid Machine Learning and Object-Based Image Analysis
Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) requires accurate water-surface masks for precise bathymetric target extraction from full-waveform data, such as via Exponential Decomposition, preventing false target extraction over adjacent land masses. HydroBound-ML is an image-based tool developed to automatically generate accurate...
