Abstract
Developments in the coastal area have significant impact on the adjacent shorelines. Mathematical modeling provides a useful tool for predicting such changes in shorelines in advance. Processing and analysis of satellite imageries of coastal area enables us to estimate and monitor the shoreline changes, which is otherwise extremely difficult, time consuming and costly by field surveying. In this paper the shoreline changes obtained by mathematical modelling and by image processing technique are compared by applying these techniques to shoreline adjacent to Ennore region. The study indicated that the cross-shore and longshore impact predicted by mathematical model and satellite information match satisfactorily. Thus the satellite information is useful for calibrating the mathematical model which can be further used for predictive purposes.
