| Sumario: | Utilisation of high-spectral resolution airborne remote sensors has steadily been increased in studies of elements on the Earth’ surface. Particularly, the study of water bodies using these instruments has recently received special attention, in a number of research activities. The aim of this paper is to show a spectral characterization of the coral reef Cayos Arcas using the hyperspectral Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI). Image processing results show the possibility of sediment detection (distribution and transport patterns), bathymetry, and physiographic characteristics of the region among the principal features. |
