Unsupervised river detection in RapidEye data

Remote sensing is a widely-used utility in supporting multilateral environmental treaties such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Regarding the WFD most remote sensing applications aim on the assessment of the biochemical status of surface water, while the general detection of water networks is disregarded. Therefore, a methodology for the automatic extraction of river networks from multispectral satellite data is presented.
