Regional Coastal Aerial Survey Imagery for Moreton Bay

An ongoing monitoring program captures high-resolution aerial imagery and topographic survey data at regular three-yearly intervals and following major coastal events across the CMB coastal zone. The project provides essential information to assess the current condition of coastal assets like seawalls, groynes, and beaches, supporting planning and maintenance activities.

Use Cases

• Monitor coastal asset condition changes over time using orthorectified aerial imagery for seawalls, groynes, and beaches.
• Support coastal planning and design activities by analyzing high-resolution topographic survey data captured after major events.
• Create a visual reference dataset for comparing historic and future coastal conditions using the geometrically corrected orthoimages.

Strengths

• Data is captured at regular three-yearly intervals, providing a time-series for change detection.
• Imagery is high-resolution and orthorectified to remove distortions from camera tilt and terrain.
• Survey is conducted following major coastal events, capturing critical post-event conditions.

Limitations

• Data is shared for informational and visualization purposes only and may lack the accuracy required for 3D modeling or site-specific analysis.
• The specific spatial resolution, coverage area, and total volume of imagery are not provided in the input.
