Description:
Abstract of Thesis Presented to the Graduate Schoolof the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of theRequirements for the Degree of Master of EngineeringVIDEO MONITORING TECHNIQUES IN THECOASTAL ENVIRONMENTByThe field of coastal engineering has primarily utilized traditional measurementtechniques such as boat surveys and beach profiles. Aerial photography has played amajor role in the mapping of coastlines and ocean currents. More recent technology hasprovided the ability to make field measurements with precision electronicinstrumentation, but the problem of making large-scale measurements within economicbounds remains. The video revolution and, in particular, desktop video has greatlyenhanced the ability of scientists and engineers to visualize events over greater periods oftime and larger scales than ever before.The uses of video, benefits, shortcomings, and future expectations are presentedas applicable to the field of coastal engineering. This feasibility study incorporates someapplications which have previously been explored, as well as others which result fromtwo unique video data sets that were collected between 1991 and the present.
