Bathymetry is a method of quantifying depths to study the topography of water bodies, including oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. The measurement of bathymetry by means of satellite images is one of the fundamental investigations in the field of remote sensing (RS) of marine environment, which has a lot of applications for the coastal environment and its monitoring. The precise determination of depth water is essential for various purposes, such as the monitoring of underwater topography, the movement of deposited sediments and the production of maritime maps for navigation. Remote sensing allows the bathymetry modeling at spatial scales that are impossible to achieve with traditional methods. Bathymetry can be estimated using RS with several techniques, each with its own capacity for depth detection, accuracy, error, strengths, advantages, disadvantages and the best application environment. Before that, a GUI interface is developed in Matlab that contains enough data to be able to compute the bathymetry in multispectral images from the satellite LANDSAT 8, with the intention of being able to analyze how flooded an area will be.
