I. INTRODUCTION 



This annotated bibliography presents a compilation of literature describing the coastal 

 engineering apphcations of aerial remote sensing. References in the compilation are 

 annotated for a quick evaluation. The annotations are a concise, informative summary of 

 the references. They describe the type of coastal engineering or related coastal 

 environmental investigation discussed and the types of aerial remote sensors used in the 

 study. Data obtained from the sensors are presented. 



Although the bibhography is not a complete listing of available literature, it is a 

 representative sampling of the important references. Including additional references would 

 dupUcate rather than broaden ideas and concepts. 



A selected list of textbooks and manuals on the basic principles and concepts of aerial 

 remote sensing and photogrammetry is included as background information. These 

 references can be useful for coastal engineers not famihar with the characteristics of remote 

 sensing techniques. 



n. USE OF BIBLIOGRAPHY 



Each entry of the bibliography has a coded reference number, author, title, source, 

 keywords and annotation. The coded reference number is identified (using example 

 7204RS0002) as: 



72 04 RS 0002 



' Serial number assigned to each reference by 



year and month of publication. 



— Reference subject — Remote Sensing 



' Month of publication (April) 



' — Year of pubUcation (1972) 



Where the year or month of publication is unknown, zeros are used. The reference numbers 

 are designed to permit additional entries to the literature data base. 



Special utihty of the bibhography is in its indexes. Reference numbers, authors, titles 

 and keywords are input to a computer indexing program. Each entry in the indexes is 

 identified by the reference number. The author index is an alphabetical listing; the title 

 index is an alphabetical Usting of words taken out of context of the reference titles. To 

 provide a subject index, keywords were chosen from the reference content and all entries 

 are keyed to this listing. Keywords preceding each annotation are entered by subject in 

 order of the 1) type of remote sensor discussed; 2) application to coastal engineering; and, 

 3) geographical area covered, if applicable. The subjects can be differentiated by keyword 

 definition in lieu of a system separating the keywords by groups.
