Abstract

To address the issue of vegetation obstructing water bodies and resulting in missing information in vegetation sea areas, existing methods that focus on various types of shorelines often exhibit limited algorithm stability and accuracy. This study introduces a method, termed Shoreline_veget. The method comprises four modules: data preprocessing, point cloud boundary extraction and processing, elevation gradient function design, modified fused boundary point cloud, and tidal correction. This method can reduce the overall shoreline accuracy from 0.6658, 0.3854, and 0.4127 (as observed with three comparative methods) to 0.1531. Compared to the least accurate method, this method improved the overall shoreline accuracy by 0.5127 m. The result confirm that the proposed method offers superior stability, and this methodology provides new technology to measure, map, and manage shorelines, offers valuable insight for related research.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Marine Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of all aspects of the environment, biology, ecosystem functioning and human interactions with the oceans. Field Chief Editor Carlos M. Duarte at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide. With the human population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, it is clear that traditional land resources will not suffice to meet the demand for food or energy, required to support high-quality livelihoods. As a result, the oceans are emerging as a source of untapped assets, with new innovative industries, such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, marine energy and deep-sea mining growing rapidly under a new era characterized by rapid growth of a blue, ocean-based economy. The sustainability of the blue economy is closely dependent on our knowledge about how to mitigate the impacts of the multiple pressures on the ocean ecosystem associated with the increased scale and diversification of industry operations in the ocean and global human pressures on the environment. Therefore, Frontiers in Marine Science particularly welcomes the communication of research outcomes addressing ocean-based solutions for the emerging challenges, including improved forecasting and observational capacities, understanding biodiversity and ecosystem problems, locally and globally, effective management strategies to maintain ocean health, and an improved capacity to sustainably derive resources from the oceans.
