As formed by the steep terrain and fragile geological conditions, river channels in Taiwan have long been required to dredge deposited sand and gravel and to ensure the safety along the river banks. However, the dredging works are sometimes loomed by the alleged illegal operations including overstepping and over-dredging along the designated profiles. To prevent the illegal activity, remote sensing technology has a great potential to monitor the work. Spaceborne images are considered superior in coverage and efficient in contrast to conventional ground surveying. Hence, this study investigates the possibility of monitoring the dredging work by using satellite data. We analyze the temporal evolution of the digital surface model (DSM) through the super high-resolution Pléiades stereopairs, and examine the model accuracy by other data such as unmanned aerial system (UAS) DSM and ground measurements. The vertical accuracy of Pléiades DSM, as compared with UAS DSM and ground points, reaches 0.70 m and 0.47-0.84 m, respectively, which is about the order of 1-2 image pixels. We conclude that the spaceborne data is a feasible approach in company with ground leveling to keep track of the procedure of gravel removal works, especially for those large and remote areas. |
