Seasonal and intraseasonal variations from the top to the bottom of a beach profile can be considerable. The shape of a beach profile influences greatly its ability to resist to the waves’ attacks. Therefore, this is a crucial morphological parameter to take into...

Coastline monitoring from video average images enables to assess erosion/accretion processes of a beach. Multiple calculation methods exist. Nevertheless, they often lack robustness to make it operational. To cope with this issue, Waves’n see has developed a technique...

Video monitoring of coastal processes can be disturbed by camera movements. Whereas wind gust can cause high frequency movements, thermal dilation of the structure on which the camera sits on may cause daily frequency movements (see figure below). Horizon line...

From topographies generated by Wavecams® technology, Waves’n see establishes diagnostics revealing the health state of a beach, by measuring the erosion during stormy events, and the accretion during the following recharges. First, a straightforward approach consists...
