Video Monitoring
High resolution cameras are used to capture images (snap shot, average, variance and video) of beaches at 30-min intervals during day light time. These images are geo rectified using ground control points, while image analysis is carried out using matlab and GIS tools. The data products from this analysis include periodical shorelines every spring tide, pre and post Shamal shorelines, inter-tidal beach profiles, location of rip currents and sand bars, as well as wave run-up limit during Shamal. The video imaging started in June 2002.
