Shoreline Position Monitoring

CoastalCOMS can measure shoreline position by geo-referencing the position of the water with respect to the camera. This permits real-time monitoring of the amount of sand on a particular beach allowing coastal engineers to make critical decisions on beach replenishment after storm events.

The image below shows the latest video captured by a CoastalCOMS camera and processed by central computer systems to calculate the position of the shoreline on the beach.
