Satellite Data Fusion For Analysis Of Coastal Zone Changes

Liviu Florin Zoran, Carmen Ionescu Golovanov

Abstract

This study focuses on the assessment of coastal zone land cover changes based on the fusion of satellite remote sensing data.The evaluation of coastal zone landscapes is based upon different sub- functions which refer to landscape features such as water, soil, land-use, buildings, groundwater, biotope types. Mixed pixels result when the sensor’s instantaneous field-of-view includes more than one land cover class on the ground. Based on different satellite data (Landsat MSS, TM, ETM, ERS, IKONOS, ASTER and MODIS) was performed object recognition for North-Western Black Sea coastal zone. Preliminary results show significant coastline position changes of North Western Black Sea during the period of 1975-2005.
