Proceedings of a Symposium on the Status of Knowledge, Critical Research Needs, and 



Potential Research Facilities Relating to the Study of the Oceans from Space, Gulf 



Publishing Co., Houston, Tex., 1969, 233 pp. 



Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Satellite Photographs, Oceanographic Applications, Image 

 Enhancement 



In symposium proceedings, articles describe oceanographic applications of satelhte photos 

 and other remote sensors. Several articles relate to coastal engineering. Introductory section 

 describes characteristics and capabilities of remote sensors. Photos, including many taken 

 during the Gemini program, illustrate coastal processes. Section of most interest to coastal 

 engineers is titled, "Color Enhancement for Ocean Cartography," by Donald S. Ross. 

 Techniques for color separations representing images corresponding to different parts of the 

 spectrum are described. Several examples of enhanced photos are presented. Image 

 enhancement techniques have potential uses in coastal engineering, such as photo density 

 contouring for evaluating underwater topography and depth determination.

 Paper describes damage from tidal flooding after the great Atlantic coastal storm of March 

 1962. Study was based on photos of selected locations along 1,300 miles of coast from 

 Massachusetts to North CaroUna. Some 65 locations averaging 2.2 miles long were studied, 

 representing 10 percent of the study area. Photos were used to determine the coastal 

 development and rate of growth. Density of structures and the built-up part of the coast 

 were used as measures of development. For most locations, comparative photos taken in the 

 late 1930's, about 1950, and late 1960's were used to determine the changes.
