An ENVI+IDL+ArcEngine Tool for Detecting Harmful Algal Blooms in East China Sea

Abstract:

This paper designs and develops a tool for detecting HABS from ENVI+IDL+ArcEngine. With a friendly and artistic interface offered by third party control, this tool provides a function of HABs monitoring in East China Sea via Remote Sensing Images inversion. Through rows of buttons on the menu bar, this tool allows calculating spectrum reflectance, browsing field work data, interpolating in situ measurement data, retrieving water property parameters, and detecting HABs position by the threshold of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature. Data management module programmed in Structured Query Language (SQL) in our tool simplifies the data process and stores a large amount of information. This paper elaborates the original design, functional modules, and multi data sources that gives a general view toward this tool.
