Artificial neural network to translate offshore satellite wave data to coastal locations

Artificial neural network modeling of cross-shore profile on sand beaches: The coast of the province of Valencia (Spain)

“…In recent years, AI techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been previously successfully applied to coastal engineering problems. Such as: plant geometry bay beaches (Iglesias et al 2009), wind-wave analysis (Browne et al 2007;Herman, Kaiser, and Niemeyer 2009), wave prediction (Kalra et al 2005;Lee 2008), coastal water level (Huang et al 2003;Ghorbani et al 2010), location and behavior of the bars (Pape et al 2007;Yan, Zhang, and Wai 2008) or seasonal changes in beach profiles (Hashemi, Ghadampour, and Neill 2010).…”

Morphological classification of microtidal sand and gravel beaches

“…Other tools are models based on artificial intelligence (AI), which are less burdensome than the numerical models, avoid uncertainties arising from physical modelling and are very useful for predicting and understanding the coastal response to changes produced by climatic agents (waves, currents, tides, winds, and so on). So these tools have been used successfully in predicting wave (Kalra et al, 2005;Lee, 2008), coastal water level (Ghorbani et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2007;Makarynska and Makarynskyy, 2008), wind-wave analysis (Browne et al, 2007;Herman et al, 2009), plant geometry bay beaches (Iglesias et al, 2009), and so on. Finally, tools such as SVM can be applied.…”

A neural network for the prediction of wave reflection from coastal and harbor structures

“…ANNs have been successfully used in coastal engineering in a wide range of applications. Among them it is worth mentioning the prediction of time series of wave parameters in a specific place of interest (Browne et al, 2006;Deo et al, 2001;Kalra et al, 2005;Makarynskyy et al, 2005a,b;Rao and Mandal, 2005;Tsai et al, 2002 among others), data reconstruction (Makarynskyy, 2005), the analysis of interdependencies between wave parameters (Agrawal and Deo, 2004;Deo et al, 2002) and the improvement of the accuracy of numerical models results (Makarynskyy, 2005).…”
