Coastline Detection from Remote Sensing Image Based on K-Mean Cluster and Distance Transform Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using remote sensing technique to determine coastline's position has been received vital attention. This paper presents a novel approach for detecting coastline of remote sensing image based on K-Means cluster and Distance Transform algorithm. K-Means cluster algorithm divides the image into two regions-water and land area. Then to extract the sea area by distance transfoming. Finally, the coastline will be detected by edge traking. Results showed that the method proposed in this paper have good performance in accuracy and completeness.
