Accurate coastal bathymetry is critical for navigation, environmental monitoring, and marine resource management. This study presents a deep learning-based approach that fuses Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery with airborne hyperspectral-derived reference data to generate high-resolution satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB). To address the spatial resolution mismatch between Sentinel-2 (10 m) and LiDAR reference data (1 m), three interpolation methods—Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Natural Neighbor (NN), and Spline—were employed to resample spectral reflectance data to a 1 m grid. Two spectral input configurations were evaluated: the log-ratio of Bands 2 and 3, and raw RGB composite reflectance (Bands 2, 3, and 4). A Fully Convolutional Neural Network (FCNN) was trained under each configuration and validated using LiDAR-based depth. The RGB + NN combination yielded the best performance, achieving an RMSE of 1.2320 m, MAE of 0.9381 m, bias of +0.0315 m, and R² of 0.6261, while the log-ratio + IDW configuration showed lower accuracy. Visual and statistical analyses confirmed the advantage of the RGB + NN approach in preserving spatial continuity and spectral-depth relationships. This study demonstrates that both interpolation strategy and input configuration critically affect SDB model accuracy and generalizability. The integration of spatially adaptive interpolation with airborne hyperspectral reference data represents a scalable and efficient solution for high-resolution coastal bathymetry mapping.
