Automatic coastline extraction method based on multitemporal remote sensing data

A coastline is an essential part of the ocean and is considerably important to the management of sea areas. According to the principle of shoreline location determination, this study proposes an automatic coastline extraction method based on a multitemporal instantaneous waterline, which uses the region growth method and edge detection to extract the instantaneous waterline, and an automatic coastline discrimination algorithm to extract the coastline. First, the NDWI image is calculated, a region growing algorithm is used to segment the land and sea, and a binary image is obtained. Second, the Canny operator is used to detect the edge of the land-sea segmentation result to obtain the instantaneous waterline. Finally, the multitemporal instantaneous waterline boundary is obtained as the coastline using the automatic coastline discrimination algorithm. In this study, a section of the coast of the Malacca Strait is taken as the research area, and the coastline is extracted and analyzed using multiperiod Landsat 8 remote sensing images. To verify the accuracy of the coastline extraction, a Sentinel-2 scene image when the acquisition time was close to high tide is visually interpreted, and the artificial interpretation coastline is obtained, which is compared with the coastline extracted for this study. Results show that the average offset and root mean square error of the coastline obtained by the algorithm are 21.01 and 21.96 m, respectively, which meet the accuracy requirements of 30-m resolution remote sensing images, and the accuracy is significantly improved compared to that of single-scene image extraction.
