Abstract
ABSTRACT The coastline is an indicator line for human exploitation in the coastal zone. With the acceleration of human development and climate change, changes in the coastal zone are more active than ever. Quickly extracting the coastline and monitoring its changes in real time is of great significance for enacting the development and utilisation planning of coastal zones. In this research, we developed an automatic-coastline-extraction technique based on edge detection and object-oriented in complex situations. Meanwhile, on the basis of Landsat TM images, it realised the extraction of the mainland China coastline. Accuracy comparison showed that the matching commission and omission errors between the extracted and reference coastlines within two-pixel radii were 8% and 5%, respectively. The Overall quality reached as high as 87%, achieving an overall mapping accuracy of 1:250,000. We also constructed the index system of coastline exploitation and utilisation to analyse changes of the continental coastline from 2000 to 2015. It was found that natural and economic conditions affected coastline changes, in which the sea-expansion trend of northern China was more concentrated on a larger scale and with a higher load in coastline development and utilisation, while the southern region of China was relatively stable.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Image and Data Fusion provides a single source of information for all aspects of image and data fusion methodologies, developments, techniques and applications. Image and data fusion techniques are important for combining the many sources of satellite, airborne and ground based imaging systems, and integrating these with other related data sets for enhanced information extraction and decision making. Image and data fusion aims at the integration of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution and multi-platform image data, together with geospatial data, GIS, in-situ, and other statistical data sets for improved information extraction, as well as to increase the reliability of the information. This leads to more accurate information that provides for robust operational performance, i.e. increased confidence, reduced ambiguity and improved classification enabling evidence based management. The journal welcomes original research papers, review papers, shorter letters, technical articles, book reviews and conference reports in all areas of image and data fusion including, but not limited to, the following aspects and topics: • Automatic registration/geometric aspects of fusing images with different spatial, spectral, temporal resolutions; phase information; or acquired in different modes • Pixel, feature and decision level fusion algorithms and methodologies • Data Assimilation: fusing data with models • Multi-source classification and information extraction • Integration of satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensor systems • Fusing temporal data sets for change detection studies (e.g. for Land Cover/Land Use Change studies) • Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.).
