PENGENALAN CITRA SATELIT SENTINEL-2 UNTUK PEMETAAN KELAUTAN

Abstract

RECOGNITION AND UTILIZATION OF SATELLITE IMAGE SENTINEL-2 FOR MARINE MAPPING. Sentinel-2 is a satellite launched by a collaboration between The European Commission and the European Space Agency in the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) program. The satellite has a mission to scan the Earth’s surface simultaneously at an angle of 180 each satellite with a 5-day temporal resolution with the same appearance on the equator and has a spatial resolution of 10 m, 20 m, and 60 m. There are 13 multispectral channels including VNIR and SWIR. Four channels with 10 m spatial resolution adapt with SPOT 4/5 and user’s comply requirements for land cover classification. Six channels with 20 m spatial resolution becomes a requirement for other Level 2 processing parameters. Channels with 60 m spatial resolution are specified for atmospheric correction and cloud filtering (443 nm for aerosols, 940 nm for moisture, and 1375 for thin cloud detection). Based on these specifications, Sentinel-2 can be an alternative for users to obtain image data with spatial, temporal, radiometric, and spectral resolution is better than SPOT and Landsat. Sentinel-2 can be downloaded for free and easy by the general public. The existence of image by Sentinel-2 is expected to be used optimally, especially for remote sensing analysis in marine field.
