Abstract

Climate change and natural disasters are especially dangerous to coastal landscapes. Natural and man-made hazards like erosion sedimentation, rising sea levels, and tidal flooding are wreaking havoc on coastal areas. The mapping and detection of coastlines are critical for safe navigation, environmental conservation, and long-term coastal development. The model is composed of a method for extracting coastline from sentinel-2-l2a satellite images obtained from the sentinelhub website. The model uses the Gaussian blur module to reduce noise. Using k-means clustering, the image is then segmented as land and water. An edge detection algorithm identifies the boundary between land and water. One of many edge detection algorithms, Canny edge detector, applies a multi-level algorithm to detect edges in images. Percentage change is calculated by comparing window to window of edge detected images.
