Changing Information Extraction of Coastal Accretion-Erosion from High Resolution Satellite Images

Abstract:

Methods for extracting information about coastline, mean high tide line and mean low tide line from satellite images are investigated based on the satellite images which have a spatial resolution of 10m and were obtained in the coastal area of Yancheng of Jiangsu province in 2006, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The evolution of the coastal zone influenced by human activities such as harbor construction and sea reclamation for farming is analyzed. The results show that (1) comparing with low resolution RS images, the high resolution images can be used to extract more subtle culture features, from which the mean high tidal line can be extracted; (2) by combing with the tidal level of the day and based on the high tidal line extracted already, the instantaneous water line on the images and leaner relationship among them, the mean low tidal line may possibly be worked out; (3) it has been being in an accretion status since 2006, with an increasing magnitude every year, while the mean low tide line was in a dynamic balance status from 2006 to 2008, but was eroded by 840m from 2008 to 2009, being very distinct in its change.
