Coastline Matching Algorithm
SSIP'99, Team H - Project 10

Match of fragment of coastline to map
Starting off with a segment of coastline (or river with bridges) from a map,
of different scale and noise properties extracted from a (much) larger segment,
perform a best fit to identify the section of coastline. One method that could
be used would be by correlation of a chain code representation. Creation of
chain code or equivalent from map segment is part of the project. Imagine
satellite images.
The project was divided into four main parts:
- Preprocessing - getting the coastline from the map
- Chain code generation - describing the coastline with a chain code
- Detection - finding the correct position
- Documentation
These parts was processed parallel and simulated data were used when needed.
Finally the separate parts were connected into a whole
system, and it was tested using real data.
