Abstract

The present study is conducted in order to determine the depth of sea floor. Study of Bathymetry is very importance in terms of navigation, Ship Docking and to understand the coastal process. Usage of Remote sensing data and generating a spatial database makes us to efficient use of data for the research purpose, the methodology for determining the bathymetry follows an empherical method of Geostatistical regression that the band ratio of Logarithm of Blue band divided by Logarithm of Red band of Landsat imagery versus Vertical Sounding data obtained from nautical chart. The obtained linear equation is multiplied with the output band. Then the results shows the bathymetry of seafloor across Shallow water of coastal region up to 50m of depth.
