SDStools

A toolbox for analyses of Satellite Derived Shorelines (SDS) generated from CoastSeg (CoastSat)

RoadMap

Currently there are some post-processing needs that users of coastseg have requested. Our team has grouped these needs into the following major categories.

Interpolation

  • detect nonstationarity
  • imputation techniques:
    1. linear interpolation
    2. regression (covariates)
    3. autoregression
    4. ML (covariates)
    5. Deep learning

Uncertainty

  • SDS variability quantification and classification
  • nonstationarity detection

Trend analysis

  • linear trend
  • nonlinear trend

Classification

  • classify SDS time-series into pre-determined classes
  • classify into custom (unsupervised) classes

Filtering

  • Isolating Noise: Techniques to identify and isolate noise within the shoreline data.
  • Quality: Tools to assess the quality of the shoreline data.
  • Clouds: Methods to deal with cloudy data segments and improve accuracy.

Time Series/Seasonality Analysis

  • monthy and yearly averages
  • STL: Utilize STL (Seasonal-Trend decomposition using LOESS) for shoreline time series decomposition.
  • Seasonal Shorelines: Analyze the periodic movement of shorelines.
  • Time Series of Narrowest/Widest Beaches: Assess the evolution of beach widths over time.
  • wavelets for nonstationary shoreline timeseries

Comparison/Evaluation

  • Shoreline Location from Situ Surveys (First): Primary method for ascertaining shoreline location.
  • Shoreline Location with Lidar: Use of Lidar data for a more granular assessment.

Visualization

  • Animations: Dynamic representation of shoreline movements.
  • Shorelines Color Coded by Time: Visualize temporal shoreline changes with color gradients.

Other Analysis

  • Beach Width Time Series (Provide Non-Erodible): Analyze the temporal changes in beach width.
  • Non-Erodible Line for the Beach:
  • Shoreline Position Coefficient of Variation:
  • Estimate beach volume?
