Coastlines are some of the most rapidly changing environments
in the world, their accurate delineation are important for navigational
and coastal survey purposes. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
such as the RADARSAT-1 is useful data source for the detection and
delineation of coastline. Generally the extraction of coast/shoreline
features from SAR imagery involves a series of processes that
include filtering, enhancements and image segmentation. In the
study to extract coastline from RADARSAT-1 of the Kuala Terrengganu
of Malaysia, a semi-automated process was developed.
