Applications of Imaging Spectrometry in Inland Water Quality Monitoring—a Review of Recent Developments

Inland waters represent complex and highly variable ecosystems, which are also of immense recreational and economic values to humans. The maintenance of high quality of inland water status necessitates development of means for rapid quality monitoring. Imaging spectrometry techniques are proven technology that can provide useful information for the estimation of inland water quality attributes due to fast speed, noninvasiveness, ease of use, and in situ operation. Although there have been many studies conducted on the use of imaging spectrometry for marine water quality monitoring and assessment, relatively few studies have considered inland water bodies. The aim of this review is to present an overview of imaging spectrometry technologies for the monitoring of inland waters including spaceborne and airborne and field or ground-based hyperspectral systems. Some viewpoints on the current situation and suggestions for future research directions are also proposed.
