Abstract
Ultimate goal of this study is to understand how the sediment, placed as part of reclamation work, behaves on eroding beach. Field reclamation experiment has been carried out at the Murozumi coast in Yamaguchi prefecture and sand with two different colors, blue and green, was also placed as a tracer. To enhance the temporal and spatial resolutions of the tracer survey, this study aims to develop an image-based technique for estimation of the rate of color sand grains from the on-site images of the beach sand surface directly taken by a GPS digital camera. Validity of the newly developed image-based technique was examined through comparisons with the data obtained from sampled sand. Obtained movement of color sand was then compared to the morphology change around the reclaimed area captured by field camera.
