A method for analyzing chlorophyll-a concentration in the seawater surface layer by image hue analysis.

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Satellite remote sensing has been widely used to observe chlorophyll-a concentrations in the ocean, but it is difficult to accurately estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations in bays and lakes, where the environment is more complex than in the open ocean. We have developed an inexpensive and compact IoT buoy that can capture images of the underwater sea surface layer in Hiroshima Bay without being affected by atmospheric or sea surface reflections. We obtained images of chlorophyll-a concentration and the underwater sea surface layer at 13 locations in Hiroshima Bay, and derived a third-order polynomial for estimating chlorophyll-a concentration from the images by correcting the RGB values of the images using the ratio of R and G values. As a result, the root mean square error (RMSE) before and after correction was 2.095 µg/L and 1.407 µg/L, respectively, indicating improved estimation accuracy. Comparison of the estimated and measured chlorophyll-a concentrations by JAXA's Shikisai satellite showed that the accuracy varied greatly depending on the ocean area.
