An Ecological Land Cover Sampling Reclassification Model for Safety Estimation of Shoreline Systems from a Flood Defense Perspective Using Optical Satellite Remote Sensing Imaging

Dongju Wu and Hui Xu    

Resumen

The safety level of a shoreline is essential for flood control projects and policy formulation or modification from both economic and environmental perspectives. With the development of remote sensing (RS) techniques, high spatial-spectral resolution and quick-revolution satellite images are now available and widely used in environment monitoring and management. It is therefore possible to more efficiently and conveniently identify the components of, and extract information for, shoreline environments. However, the problem is that the shoreline is always a long curve with a relatively narrow width, which limits the application of RS technology. This paper presents a method of recognizing different types of shoreline and of conveniently extracting the geographical coordinates of potential shoreline defense by analyzing and processing ecological information from an optical satellite RS data interpretation of land cover on both side of the shoreline. An application of this model in a low-resolution image case proved that the model can be used in the primary survey of a shoreline monitoring service platform as the basic tile level. The classification model is designed such that the requirements of image resolution for efficiently extracting information from the shoreline are low and the limitations imposed by a narrow shoreline width are avoided.
