Integrating GIS-Remote Sensing: A Comprehensive Approach to Predict Oceanographic Health and Coastal Dynamics
摘要
The monitoring of oceanographic and coastal dynamics is essential for understanding the effects of climate change, predicting natural disasters, and managing coastal resources. Remote sensing technology, particularly through satellite imagery, has revolutionized the ability to collect vast amounts of environmental data over large spatial and temporal scales. However, the complexity of these datasets, which often include intricate spatial patterns and long-term temporal trends, requires advanced machine learning models capable of handling both dimensions effectively. In this study, we present a Hybrid GIS-Transformer Network for analyzing oceanographic and coastal dynamics using remote sensing data. The proposed model integrates the spatial feature extraction capabilities of the GIS network with the temporal analysis strengths of the transformer model. This approach enables a comprehensive understanding of both spatial and temporal patterns in high-resolution satellite imagery, allowing for more accurate detection and prediction of environmental changes. Our methodology was tested across multiple tasks, including coastal erosion detection, sea surface temperature (SST) prediction, wave height prediction, and ocean currents detection. The Hybrid GIS-Transformer model consistently outperformed existing models such as CNN, ResNet50, MobileNet, EfficientNet, and LSTM. For coastal erosion detection, the hybrid model achieved an accuracy of 96.12%, while for SST prediction, the accuracy was 95.43%. In wave height prediction, the model achieved an accuracy of 93.02%, and for ocean currents detection, an accuracy of 91.88% was recorded. These results demonstrate the model’s superiority in capturing both fine spatial details and long-term temporal dynamics compared with individual models.
