Predictive Assessment Tool for Beach Conditions Using Video Imaging and Neural Network Analysis

海滩是澳大利亚生活方式和经济发展的重要组成部分。监测多变的海滩状况对海滩安全和风暴侵蚀管理至关重要。该项目的目的是开发一种评估工具，允许从环境和休闲两个方面对海滩条件进行评级系统。该工具将被开发成一个软件分析系统，其中将包括人工智能的组件，使该系统能够使用反馈循环来创建相对于破碎波特征的更好的海滩形态预测。

Beaches are vital part of Australian lifestyle and economic development. Monitoring of variable beach conditions is vital for beach safety and for management of storm erosion. The aim of this project is to develop an assessment tool which will permit a rating system of beach conditions both from an environmental as well as a leisure aspect. This tool will be developed into a software analysis system which will include components of artificial intelligence to enable the system to use feedback loops to create a better prediction of the beach morphology relative to the breaking wave characteristics.
