“…Moreover, the validation results of SDB models using blue and green bands of Zhuhai-1 (ZBR2, 9, ZLB3, 9, and ZLB3, 9, 12) image showed a similar accuracy to that of Sentinel-2 image (SBR2, 3, SLB2, 3, and SLB2, 3, 4), which further confirmed The most commonly used band-combination strategy for shallow-water bathymetry may be the employment of blue and green bands, of which principle and potential have been revealed in previous research [52]. The blue and green bands of Sentinel-2 image have been widely and successfully used for shallow-water bathymetry [53]. In this study, relative high correlations were observed for the blue and green bands between Zhuhai-1 and Sentinel-2 (R 2 > 0.7, Figure 13).…”
