Omni-spectral classification and scoring with near-infrared (OCN)

A novel spectral classification and scoring method (OCN) covering the visible to near-infrared wavelength range is proposed for remote sensing reflectance over water bodies. This method comprises 30 spectral classes and could handle multiple aquatic environmental parameters including water turbidity, algal blooms and aquatic vegetation. Additional details can be found in the paper titled “Global evaluation revealed large spectral reflectance uncertainties in Landsat 8 Collection 2 Surface Reflectance Products for inland and coastal waters”.
