Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lakes are of vital importance due to providing multiple socioeconomic and ecosystem services, including drinking water, irrigation and generating tourism to the fast-growing human world population. The strong relationships between optically active constituents and remote sensing signals provide a possibility to capture optical parameter information through a remote sensing approach. In this Special Issue of Applied Sciences regarding inland water quality estimation based on optical satellites, we welcome articles centered around the model development and/or application of remote sensing approaches to understand water quality patterns, trends and reasons behind drivers.

Hyperspectral data are important for water color remote sensing. The inevitable noise will devalue its application. In this study, we developed a 1-D denoising method for water hyperspectral data, based on sparse representing. The denoising performance was compared with three commonly used methods in simulated and real datasets. The results indicate that: (1) sparse representing can successfully decompose the hyperspectral water-surface reflectance signal from random noises; (2) the proposed method exhibited better performance compared with the other three methods in different input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels; (3) the proposed method effectively erased abnormal spectral vibrations of field-measured and remote-sensing hyperspectral data; (4) whilst the method is built in 1-D, it can still control the salt-and-pepper noise of PRISMA hyperspectral image. In conclusion, the proposed denoising method can improve the hyperspectral data of an optically complex water body and offer a better data source for the remote monitoring of water color.
