  • Investigation of spatial and temporal image variations as supplementary data sources.

    • Main Results:

    • Depth and attenuation coefficients are retrievable under invariant water quality and atmospheric conditions.
    • Spectral analysis alone becomes insufficient with complex, variable scenes.
    • Spatial and temporal variations in image data are identified as potential independent information sources.

    Conclusions:

    • Bathymetric mapping is most straightforward in homogenous environments.
    • Complex environmental conditions necessitate the integration of spatial and temporal data for accurate depth mapping.
    • Future research should focus on integrating diverse data streams for robust bathymetric solutions.
