Eutrophication analysis of water reservoirs by remote sensing and neural networks
Algal blooms of the water are an important variable for the analysis of freshwater ecosystems, which are relevant not only for human populations but also for plant and animal diversity. Monitoring algal blooms from space allows for a continuous and automatic control without the necessity of water sampling and human intervention. However, it is a very challenging task, which becomes particularly difficult when dealing with cyanobacteria blooms.
