Abstract:

BPANN algorithm is commonly used for estimating water depth from satellite imagery. In this paper, an improved BPANN algorithm is presented to overcome some disadvantages of BPANN algorithm. Its principle is that particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to optimize the weights and thresholds of ANN in the process of training. The experiments show that improved BPANN algorithm has faster convergence speed and better generalization ability, it is not sensitive to initial weights and thresholds, and it can make more accurate results than BPANN algorithm.

Key words: estimating water depth from satellite imagery, backpropagation-based artificial neural network algorithm (BPANN algorithm), particle swarm optimization (PSO), improved BPANN algorithm, optimization of initial weights and thresholds
