Coastal Imaging Station Design Toolbox

Abstract

The Station Design Toolbox is a MATLAB code repository and application for planning data collection from cameras mounted on a fixed platform or a small unoccupied aircraft system (sUAS) in coastal or riverine environments. A graphical user interface simplifies the process of designing the data collection by providing estimates of the camera array field-of-view and image resolution based on the hypothetical projection matrix from user-defined camera configurations. The user can save results as geographically tagged images and keyhole markup language files for import into an earth browser.
