For monitoring purposes and in the context of geomorphological research, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) appear to be a promising solution provide multi-temporal Digital Surface Models (DSMs) orthophotographs. There are variety photogrammetric software tools available for UAV-based data. The objective this study is investigate level accuracy that can achieved using two these tools: Agisoft PhotoScan® Pro an open-source alternative, IGN© MicMac®, sub-optimal survey conditions (rugged terrain,...
Long-term datasets documenting the evolution of coastal forms and processes, through provision recurring beach as well shoreface morphological observations accompanying time-series environmental controls, remain difficult to collect are rarely made available. However, they increasingly needed further our understanding change improve models that will help planning what future coast be. This data descriptor presents results topographic bathymetric surveys at Porsmilin, a macrotidal embayed...
Owing to the combination of technological progress in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and recent advances photogrammetry processing with development Structure-from-Motion (SfM) approach, UAV enables rapid acquisition high resolution topographic data at low cost. This method is particularly widely used for geomorphological surveys linear coastal landforms. However, are generally pointed out as problematic cases because geometric distortions creating a “bowl effect” computed Digital Elevation...
Impacts from natural and anthropogenic coastal hazards are substantial increasing significantly with climate change. Coasts communities increasingly at risk. In addition to short-term events, long-term changes, including rising sea levels, storm intensity consequent severe compound flooding events degrading ecosystems threatening dwellers. Human impacts exacerbate degradation. Consequently, people living near the coast require environmental intelligence reliable predictions in order...
This paper aims to compare models from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), photogrammetry (TP), and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVP) surveys evaluate their potential in cliff erosion monitoring. TLS has commonly been used monitor cliff-face (monitoring since 2010 Normandy) because it guarantees results of high precision. Due some uncertainties limitations TLS, TP UAVP can be seen as alternative methods. First, the texture quality is better than that which could useful for analysis...
Hyperspectral imagery has proven its potential in many research applications, especially the field of environmental sciences. Currently, hyperspectral imaging is generally performed by satellite or aircraft platforms, but mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platforms (<20 kg) are now emerging. On such payload restrictions critical, so sensors must be selected according to stringent specifications. This article presents integration a light pushbroom sensor onboard multirotor UAV, which we...
This paper presents results from an experiment designed to improve the understanding of relationship between extreme breaking waves and their mechanical loading on heritage offshore lighthouses. The experiment, conducted at La Jument, iconic French lighthouse, featured several records wave, current structure accelerations acquired during severe storm conditions, with individual as high 24 m. Data analysis focuses a event marked by strong peak in horizontal measured inside Jument. Thanks...

Abstract Understanding the interactions between dune systems and beaches is critical to determining short‐term shoreline response long‐term resilience. In this study, almost 15 years of monthly beach/dune measurements were analyzed for three different profiles at Vougot Beach, France understand predict changes from intra‐annual multi‐annual time‐scales. Four migration modes: advance/retreat (translation modes) steepening/flattening (rotation identified through a centroid analysis. The analysis...

Hyper-DRELIO (Hyperspectral DRone for Environmental and LIttoral Observations) is a custom, mini-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) platform (<20 kg), equipped with light push broom hyperspectral sensor combined navigation module measuring position orientation. Because of the particularities UAV surveys (low flight altitude, small spatial scale, high resolution), dedicated pre-processing methods have to be developed when reconstructing imagery.

Monitoring coastal seabed in very shallow waters (0–5 m) is a challenging methodological issue, even though such data of major importance to many scientific and technical communities. Over the years, Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry has emerged as flexible inexpensive method able provide both 3D model high-resolution imagery (~cm level). In this study, we propose low-cost (about USD 1500), adaptable, lightweight easily dismantled system called POSEIDON (for Platform Operating...
Under natural and anthropogenic pressure, the coastal regions are evolving rapidly (population growth, erosion, modification of services, etc.), some these changes increase their vulnerability. Monitoring evolution has thus become essential to understand how they respond various pressures define resilience could be increased. Among other outcomes, such monitoring should provide continuous, high-resolution data on spatial temporal areas, especially shoreline zone. One appropriate way acquire...

Acoustic scattering can be used to estimate Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) through acoustic inversion methods. Current SSC quantification methods are mostly unable observe both spatial and temporal variations. Here, we assess the possibility measure using a Multibeam Echosounder (MBES). MBES combine large covering in water column capability 'on route', allowing better representativity of measurements. Time-series raw EM3002-MBES data at 300 kHz were acquired during 5-hours field...
