Total quality measures for environmental coastal monitoring using remote sensing, lidar bathymetry, radar altimetry and GIS techniques
Abdulmuttalib, Hussein M.
Unlike conventional methods for topographic or hydrographic mapping, many times certain environmental remote sensing monitoring and mapping issues remain incomplete, due to simply neglecting quality measures, and the trailed effect of the quality status. Similar to other issues, efforts such as time, money, work, and knowledge used for monitoring environmental issues are sensitive to the final quality of the results. Total Quality issues can not be simply neglected as it is the case many times, since the quality means the level of goodness of the data and maps, their reliability and validity, how accurate the data or information is, and is it possible to depend on the information for making decisions concerned with a range of particular facts, and how far this dependency can go. This paper is intended to represent the issues and results of a research work executed to assess the different quality measures related to environmental coastal monitoring using GIS and Remote Sensing, as much as comparing Lidar and Radar Altimetry versus conventional methods, providing a introductory classification of the major coastal monitored factors, their relation to the environment, and the level of usefulness of the collected and geo_ processed information, considering the elements used for the process in relation to what its meant to be used for.
