The present work presents the use of a computational tool applied to a beach in the state of Ceará to understand and analyze the beach's coastal dynamics and, from the results of the research available for the area, with data collected in situ, to prove the usefulness of the tool and its database. Coastal areas are constantly changing, caused by natural events or human activities. In Brazil, where phenomena suc...
Coastal environments are highly dynamic and sensitive to interference and variations caused by the numerous natural and anthropogenic agents. The northern coast of Northeastern Brazil has undergone intense erosion in recent years. However, the construction of the Pecém Port modified the beach and shoreline features differently from the adjacent areas. This article describes using remote-sensing images integrate...
The Coastal areas of Ceará are on constant modification, both due to the action of Coastal dynamics and anthropogenic actions. The objective of this work was the analysis on the evolution of the coastline between the years 1984 and 2013 using digital image Processing techniques in images of satellites Landsat 5 (TM) and Landsat 8 (OLI). The study area is located between the Praia do Preá and the Rio Aracati-Mir...
With the growth related to new technologies of Remote Sensing, the detail level of the surveys using aerial photographic also evolved. In the search for tools with higher efficiency and lower cost, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) stands out mainly for safety, time and low operating costs in executing a mapping. Therefore, it is intended to use geoprocessing techniques to analyze the geomorphometric v...
