Abstract

Aquacultural rafts are important for a large-scale utilisation and conservation of marine resources. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors are viable for mapping and monitoring aquacultural structures. This research offers a novel method that uses dual polarimetric Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. We project the covariance matrix, obtained from Sentinel-1 onto random normalised scattering configurations. Following this we obtain a spectrum of the dual-polarimetric scattering-type parameter θDP. This θDP spectrum is used with the Random Forest Classifier to classify the rafts from water surface. These classified maps are compared with the conventional eigen decomposition based approach. It is found that the classification accuracy of the proposed technique outperforms the accuracy obtained from the eigen-based technique.
