AquaCubeAI-Powered Monitoring Turbidity on-board Φsat-2

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

Timely monitoring of coastal water quality is critical for environmental protection, yet conventional satellite workflows rely on downlink and ground processing, introducing latency that can limit responsiveness to rapidly evolving turbidity events. To address this limitation, we propose AquaCubeAI, a lightweight machine-learning approach for onboard estimation of coastal water turbidity from Φsat-2 multispectral imagery. By shifting inference from the ground segment to the satellite, AquaCubeAI aims to enable lower-latency, more responsive, and more operationally useful turbidity monitoring u
