In large-scope marine investigation, the traditional bathymetric measurement can not meet the requirement of rapid data
acquisition with lower cost of financial and material resources, while remote sensing (RS) technology provides a perfect
way in the work. RS can not only provide quickly and efficiently the information of underwater topography with respect
to the traditional method, but also present corresponding underwater topography with different-period RS images. In this
paper, we depict in detail the procedures and some key techniques in acquiring underwater topography by remote sensing
inversion technology based on self-organization feature mapping (SOFM). Firstly, we introduce some basic theories
about the acquisition of underwater topography by the RS inversion technology. Besides, we discuss the data acquisition
and preparation in the work. Moreover, we implement correlation analysis and find out the sensitive bands used for
building RS inversion model. In virtue of SOFM, we construct the mapping relation between water depth and the
reflectivity of sensitive band in the studied area, and test the it in two experimental water areas. The model achieves
satisfying accuracy and can meet the requirement of given bathymetric scale. Finally the mapping relation is used for the
water depth inversion in the studied water area. We also use the water depth from the model to draw the underwater
topographic map in the water area.
