Object-Oriented Extraction of Beach Morphology from Video Images

The ARGUS system is a shore-based, optical video system offering a suitable remote sensing technique for the purpose of longterm, high-resolution monitoring of coastal morphodynamics. Ten-minute time-exposure (timex) images obtained by the ARGUS cameras during low tide show the intertidal morphology (bars, troughs and rips) by the differences between water, wet sand and dry sand, where dry sand represents bars, and wet sand and water represent troughs and rips.
