  1. Automated extraction of beach bathymetries from video images Laura Uunk MSc Thesis prof. dr. S.J.M.H. Hulscher dr. K.M.Wijnberg ir. R. Morelissen

  2. Contents • Beach bathymetries by shoreline mapping • Manually mapping shorelines (IBM) • Automatically mapping shorelines (ASM) • Problems encountered • Automated quality control • Automatically vs. manually obtained bathymetries • Beach behaviour • Conclusions

  3. Beach bathymetries by shoreline mapping • Argus images • Time exposure images •  10 minute average • Every half hour • Beach bathymetry mapped • Shoreline location • Shoreline elevation • Throughout tidal cycle • Elevation data between • low and high water Timex image of Egmond Coast 3D site, camera 1

  4. Manually mapping shorelines (IBM) Interface of the Intertidal Beach Mapper (IBM)

  5. Manually mapping shorelines (IBM) • Requires many man-hours • up to 4 hours for one day for one station (5 cameras) • Therefore no daily bathymetries, but monthly • Opportunities of Argus not completely used Automated version was developed (ASM) • Plant • Cerezo and Harley Dutch beach

  6. Automatically mapping shorelines (ASM) • Human steps are automated • Definition of the region of interest • based on expected shoreline location on bench-mark bathymetry • Quality control • compare detected points against bench-mark bathymetry Bench-mark bathymetry

  7. Automatically mapping shorelines (ASM)

  8. Problems encountered • Bad bench-mark bathymetry • bad definition ROI • bad quality control •  Start of a downward spiral • Bad bench mark bathymetry

  9. Problems encountered - downward spiral

  10. Problems encountered - solutions • Better definition of the Region of Interest • large smoothing scales loess interpolation • better expected shoreline location • extension to edge of image • inclusion of entire shoreline • avoid zigzagging • inclusion of entire shoreline

  11. Problems encountered - solutions •  Better expected shoreline location small smoothing scales short time window larger smoothing scales longer time window

  12. Problems encountered - solutions • Better definition of the Region of Interest • large smoothing scales loess interpolation • better expected shoreline location • extension to edge of image • inclusion of entire shoreline • avoid zigzagging • inclusion of entire shoreline

  13. Problems encountered - solutions

  14. Problems encountered - solutions • Double quality control • Two bench-mark bathymetries • 1: small smoothing scales, small time window • 2: large smoothing scales, large time window • Shoreline points first compared to first bathymetry • Points that could not be checked are then compared to second bathymetry

  15. Problems encountered - solutions small smoothing scale  more detail  more gaps large smoothing scale  less detail  less gaps

  16. Automated quality control • Fixed vertical criterion: Zdif • Sometimes accept points that are wrong • Sometimes reject points that are good

  17. Automated quality control •  What value should be used? • ASM was run with three values for Zdif • 0.10 m; • 0.25 m; • 0.50 m • ASM bathymetries compared to IBM bathymetries • Coastal State Indicators (CSIs) • Contours (-0.50 m NAP; 0 m NAP; 0.50 m NAP) • MICL

  18. Automated vs. manual 0 m contour for May 7th to 12th 2006 IBM 0.10 m 0.25 m 0.50 m continued 0.25 m

  19. Automated vs. manual 0.10 m 0.25 m 0.50 m continued 0.25 m •  No real differences for the different values of Zdif

  20. Automated vs. manual – in time

  21. Beach behaviour

  22. Conclusions • Man-hours are saved by automatically mapping shorelines • Results automated version (ASM) correspond well with results manual version (IBM) • 0 m contour by ASM shows immediate response of the beach to changes in wave height • this was not visible with monthly IBM bathymetries • Opportunities provided by half-hourly Argus images can now be fully exploited • ASM data could be used to e.g. • study storm impact • study influence of nourishments • support management decisions
