Popis: Chinese Gaofen-3 (GF-3) satellite is a spaceborne multi-polarisation synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mission in C-band and it can be applied in the multiple fields. GF-3 can achieve accurate water boundary extraction based on its high-resolution SAR image products. This paper will study GF-3's capability to extract water boundary. Danjiangkou reservoir, the largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia and water source of Chinese South-to-North Water Diversion Project, is selected as the study region. A novel segmentation method is proposed which consists of two parts: the first part is rough segmentation to get the initial boundary; the second part is fine segmentation to get the final water boundary. Experimental results show that GF-3 has good performance in water boundary exaction by virtue of this novel method.
