Waterside line information extraction of tidal flat at the Yangtze River Estuary by wavelet multi-resolution analysis
基于小波多分辨率分析提取长江口淤泥质潮滩水边线

Jiuduansha was selected as a study area at the Yangtze River Estuary. First, we pretreated the image by the mathematical morphology method in order to eliminate the fracture zone formed by inlets. Then, we extracted the waterside line information and removed the high suspended sediment information and other high frequency information by the wavelet multi-resolution analysis method. At last, we evaluated the effect of the waterside line information extraction by the edge connectivity evaluation method. The results show the wavelet multi-resolution analysis method is one of the effective methods to extract waterside line information in the silty tidal flat. Remote sensing information extraction of waterside line has important significance for the reasonable development of tidal flat resources and the study of modern tidal flat coastal dynamic changes.
