Optical Satellite-Derived Bathymetry: An Overview and WoS and Scopus Bibliometric Analysis

A technical and scientific overview regarding satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB)—one of the most promising relatively cheap methods shallow water depth determination—is presented. The main goal article is to present information about possibilities SDB method meet demanding standard bathymetric measurements in coastal mapping areas up 20 m deep, i.e., where largest number ports access waterways are located, as obtained using bibliometric analysis. Web Science (WoS) Scopus databases, well R studio applications Bibliometrix Biblioshiny, were used for analysis presents quantitative aspects producing disseminating professional articles with their topic. Therefore, purpose this study was give academic community an insight into current knowledge method, its achievements shortcomings. results dealing show that authors use empirical statistical methods. However, recent years, automated artificial intelligence have prevailed, especially machine learning method. It concluded data can become a very important low-cost source areas. Satellite been proven be effective (up m), biggest advantage way low cost, while major limitations associated parameters determine properties atmosphere column (clear column) bottom material. Procedures different being developed. Regardless significant progress which manifested development sensors processing methods, still do not International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Standards Surveys S-44.
