Description
- Coastline digital map, obtained by automatic processing of VHR data (1 to 10 meter) and subsequent manual photointerpretation to enhance the result
- The map delivers a classification in homogeneous segments of the coastline
Operating scenarios
- Base knowledge
- Post event
- Extraordinary Monitoring
