| Description |
Two digital video cameras were installed at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced northeast offshore and camera 2 faced east-northeast along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This metadata record is for camera 1 and includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration data to utilize imagery to make quantitative measurements. The cameras are part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research project to study the beach and nearshore environment. USGS researchers analyzed the imagery collected from this camera to remotely sense a range of information including shoreline position, sandbar migration, wave run-up on the beach, alongshore currents, and nearshore bathymetry. This camera is part of the USGS CoastCam network. [More]
