The primary objective of this study was to provide the linkage between in-channel measurements and potential impairments in the receiving waters of San Diego Bay. This study addressed this objective within the context of four questions: (1) How much area in San Diego Bay is affec...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network Land-Cover Classification of Multi-Seasonal Hyperspectral Imagery in the San Francisco Bay Area, California
In this study, a 1-D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture was developed, trained and utilized to classify single (summer) and three seasons (spring, summer, fall) of hyperspectral imagery over the San Francisco Bay Area, California for the year 2015. For comparison, the Random Forests (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers were trained and tested with the same data. In ord...
