Abstract
Sunglint is a specular reflection of light from water surfaces that may cause misclassification and poor accuracy for benthic habitats mapping. The aim of this research was to investigate sunglint intensity for each benthic habitats and compared the accuracy result before and after sunglint correction from worldview-2 imagery. Hedley method and analysis coefficient of variation (COV) was used to estimate and remove the glint radiance component, while Mahalanobis distance was used to classify before and after sunglint correction from those imagery. The result showed that the average of sunglint intensity on benthic habitats was 38,9%. The highest sunglint intensity effect found in coral reef class (44%) and the lowest one in sand class (34%). The overall accuracy before and after sunglint correction were 53% and 60%. Sunglint correction well to do in reducing the effect of sunglint and increase the overall accuracy till 7%.
