Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Automated identification of coastal features in remote sensing data, reduced analyst time

Detailed example

Elevation and position of dune crest and toe, position of shoreline

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

b) Pilot – The use case has been deployed in a limited test or pilot capacity.

Expected benefit

Increased efficiency in identifying coastal features in remote sensing data compared to existing methods that are human analyst time intensive. Increased efficiency was tested by timing traditional methods versus AI/ML methods

Controls / human review

ATO: No; PIA: Not published

Data needed

Data used to train and evaluate the model came from various USGS data releases of dune morphology and shorelines.
