Abstract
Monitoring of coastline areas facilitates landscape development, sea transport, sea-level rise, changes in coastal areas and other important activities so it is very important that coastline extraction is quick and precise. In the past coastline extraction consisted of two stages: high-resolution images were captured from airplane and then coastline was drawn based on these images. This operation was slow compared to today’s modern techniques such as satellite images and image processing. In this paper we proposed a new technique for coastline extracting from satellite images. The proposed procedure is based on algorithms for image processing and edge detection. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was fast and accurate.
