In shallow waters, traditional bathymetric methods such as acoustic and LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) systems are accurate; however they are constrained by high operational costs, logistic difficulties and limited spatial coverage. Shallow water depth estimation using passive remote-sensing method is an attractive alternative as it provides a time- and cost-effective solution to water depths estimation.

The consolidation of new technologies, based on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, such as the application of sensors like nodes in the internet of things, the distribution of processing systems, in networks, such as cloud computing, among others, resulted in the generation of a quantity data, which, in the last two years, corresponds to almost all the data generated by humanity. Data storage and processing in a cloud environment can bring some intrinsic limitations, such as high latency and low availability events.
