Lake Detection and Water Quality Estimation in Sentinel-2 Data

ArXi:2605.24515v1 Announce Type: new With climate change and increasing human pressure on natural landscapes, inland water resources are becoming progressively scarcer, vulnerable, and difficult to manage sustainably. Reliable and automated methods for detecting, monitoring, and assessing surface water bodies are therefore of growing scientific and practical importance. In this paper, we investigate and compare three distinct machine learning architectures for water body identification and monitoring. Their performance is evaluated through quantitative metrics and real-world examples.
