1 Introduction
The coastline is an adjacent transition zone between land andocean that is the result of dynamic change processes involvingnatural changes and human activities At present 60 of theworldrsquos population is gathered near a coastal zone rich inmetallic mineral resources oil and gas resources tidal andwave energy sources and other renewable energy sourcesThe coastline is an important place for human economicand social activities A quick and accurate determination ofthe coastline length variation trend is not only a necessarytechnical activity for the study of land-ocean interactionscoastal reclamation port development and urban expansionbut also an important subject for marine economics andmarine multidisciplinary research
There are two coastline extraction methods One isthe field detection method which is the more commonmethod that is the photogrammetric technology and GPStechnology The other is the remote sensing image coastlineautomatic extraction technology and image interpretationSuch software and technologies for coastline extraction havegradually becomemoremature as discussed by Li and JigangLee et al Manavalan et al Holman et al Rudin et al
Chan et al Donoho Xiaofeng et al and Chaoyang [1ndash9] The automatic remote sensing image classification havebeen well researched such as the proposal by Jiang et alfor an automatic scheme for the classification of land usebased on change detection and a semisupervised classifier[10] Stavrakoudis et al [11] built a boosted genetic fuzzyclassifier for land cover classification of remote sensingimagery Although the coastline can be extracted by these twomethods they fail to include a systematic and comprehensiveanalysis of coastline length and type variation trend whichmeans that the automatic sensing image classifications donot meet the shoreline classification The spatial data min-ing theory presented in this study is aimed at the imageprocessing of remote sensing image data and is focused onthe discovery of potential hidden and useful models andrules between the image targets from remote sensing imagesas discussed by Xiaocheng and Xiaoqin [12] It combinesthe spatial data mining method as discussed by DengkeDeren et al Zhanquan Kaichang et al and Longshu etal [13ndash17] with classic remote sensing image processingtechnology as discussed by Aihua et al Deren and JuliangGuobao et al and Tao and Bin [18ndash21] A new coastlineextraction and analysis model was put forward to analyze

2 Coastline Extraction Process
Data mining refers to the process as discussed by Kantardzicet al [22] in which implicit unknown potential and usefulinformation and knowledge can be extracted from a largenumber of incomplete noisy fuzzy and random databasesAccording to the knowledge structure of data mining thecoastline extraction processes can be divided into four stagesas follows in Figure 1 image selection image registrationcorrection toningmosaic and other pretreatment processescoastline extraction and mining and the coastline resultanalysis and trend prediction
3 Study on the Remote Sensing ImageCoastline Extraction Technology
31 Data Preparation The remote sensing image data pre-sented and selected in this paper were collected at five stagesfrom 2007 to 2011 The space range covered the coastal zonesof the Chinese Mainland (including Hong Kong and Macao)and Hainan Island encompassing 290 scenic spots Details ofthe images are as in Table 1

sensing images and control point image databases afterwhich the automatic image registration was completed
322 Geometric Correction of the Coastal-Zone Image Itwas difficult to find the control points due to the largewater area on the remote sensing image at the coastal zoneMeanwhile a small number of control points were used toachieve the geometric correction of the low-precision remotesensing images in order to reduce the workload of the fieldmeasurements Combined with satellite orbit parameters andthe geometric correction model with correction precisionin different satellite data sources and terrain conditions thegeometric correction ofmultiscene imageswas jointly carriedout to achieve the geometric correction of satellite images atseveral control points in the use of the correlation betweensubscene overlapping regions
323 Automatic Toning and Mosaic of Coastal-Zone ImageImage data toning processing was carried out by using thecolor-transferring algorithm to maintain the consistency oftypical surface features In the fuzzy classificationmethod theoverlapping region calculation method and image multiscalesegmentation method were used for the study on the colortransferring algorithm to maintain the consistency of typicalsurface features The coastal-zone remote sensing image wasspliced by using the automatic matching-line generationimage mosaic technology

(1) Calculation of the Chromatic Aberration Amplitude byMeans of Chromatic Aberration Canny Operator In order toimprove on deficiencies of the traditional Canny operator animproved Canny operator was used based on the LAB colormodel as the main technical route in this paper that is thechromatic aberration Canny operator color difference canny(CDC) algorithm This algorithm was able to detect the edgethrough the color gradient (chromatic aberration) betweenpixels and determine the pixel amplitude as per the calcu-lation of the first-order partial derivative finite difference atthe 119909-direction 119910-direction 135∘ direction and 45∘ directionwithin the 8 adjacent zones of pixels Its main advantagesinclude high edge-positioning accuracy and effective noisesuppression It was able to accurately determine the colordifferences in accordance with the vision of human eye andgood results were achieved during practical application Themathematical expression of the chromatic aberration Cannyoperator (CDC) is as follows
Chromatic aberration in the 119909-direction
119863119909[119894 119895] = CD (119868 [119894 + 1 119895] 119894 minus 1 119895) (1)

(2) Adaptive Calculated Dynamic Threshold A whole imagecan be divided into several subimages There might bea certain overlapping region between subimages so as to
achieve the continuous profile and calculate the parametersfor the proportion between the overlapping region and thesubimages The high and low threshold values of subimageswere adaptively set according to the nonmaximum suppres-sion results The calculation equation should be as follows
120591high = (1 minus 120573) 120591119867 + 120573120591ℎ
120591Low = (1 minus 120573) 120591119871 + 120573120591119897(7)
where 120591119867and 120591119871represent the global high and low threshold
values of the whole image respectively 120591ℎand 120591119897represent
the local high and low threshold values of subimage zonerespectively 0 lt 120573 lt 1 represents the threshold adjustmentrate If 120573 = 0 the whole image should not be adjusted If120573 = 1 the whole image should be divided fully in accordancewith the local features of the subimages
(3) Boundary Tracking Generated Coastline When the pointwith the chromatic aberration amplitude of a certain pixelin the whole image is greater than the high threshold valuewhich was used as the starting point for tracking theneighborhood pixel (other chromatic aberration amplitudeswithin the 8 pixel neighborhoods were greater than the highthreshold value) should be set as the edge and used as thestarting point for tracking If there were no pixels (chromaticaberration amplitude was greater than the high thresholdvalue) around the pixel point the pixel (chromatic aberrationamplitudewas greater than the low threshold value) should bediscovered within the 8 pixel neighborhoods and used as thestarting point for tracking up until the edge and the startingpoint cannot be found and thus determined as the contourendpoint The template was checked to determine whetherthe edge could be connected In the event of any noise at theisolated point it should be removed Finally the boundarywas extracted for fine processing
(4) Coastline Classification and Analysis Based on the Spec-trum Feature Database Based on the sample collection andfield spectrum measurement of the remote sensing image ofthe sea area the systematic research on the types and usagemethods for development and exploitation of coastal zonesas well as the spectral features and image features in thecommon star-source data the remote sensing classificationcriteria were presented for development and exploitation ofcoastal zones in this paper Coastlines can be divided intonatural coastlines artificial coastlines and estuary coastlinesThe natural coastlines can be divided into bedrock coastlinesilt-muddy coastline sandy coastline and biological coastline(including mangroves and coral reefs) The artificial coast-lines can be divided into cofferdam coastline marine recla-mation land coastline transportation engineering coastlineand protected coastline
The object-oriented image feature analysis for the sea areawas used in this study Based on the main types and compo-nents of coastline development and exploitation all kinds oftarget surface features were detected and extracted includingthe spectrum shape texture shadow space location andrelated layout The standard curve spectrum was obtainedcorresponding to the componentThe spectral characteristics

332 Validation of Coastline Extraction Results After thecompletion of the coastline extraction algorithm model itwas necessary to test and validate the model extractionresultsThe validationmethods of themodel extraction resultshould include the point-by-point comparison method andthe overall comparison method Point-by-point inspectionrefers to the superposition of extracted results and actualconditions with point-by-point comparison as to its accu-racy Overall comparison should refer to the evaluation ofextracted results by means of the indexes for the overallspatial pattern as discussed byWu [23]TheKappa coefficientwas selected to quantitatively reflect the model operation forextracting the accuracy of coastline This was mainly basedon the different-stage coastline extraction results and thecorresponding remote sensing image data to carry out theKappa coefficient calculation of the adjacent grid map todetermine the average coefficient value of results at each stageand to obtain the Kappa coefficient for the accuracy of coast-line extraction results over the timeframe The calculationequation should be as follows

where 119868 is the accuracy coefficient 119871 is the actual length ofshoreline and 1198711015840 is the extracted length of shoreline

It can be seen from Table 3 that all the Kappa coefficientsobtained in the previous five years were greater than 06 andthat the accuracy coefficients obtained in the previous fiveyears were less than 0023 Previous studies about Kappa byBlackman and Koval [24] and Landis and Koch [25] haveshown that the coastline extraction results achieved using thechromatic aberration Canny operator edge detectionmethodshould be consistent with the actual coastline heights and thecoastline extraction results in 2010 and 2011 should be almostcompletely consistent with the actual coastline heights
333 Validation of Coastline Classification Results In orderto ensure the accuracy of the coastline classification resultsthe supervised classification method was used to completethe automatic classification of the coastline remote sensingimages and to carry out sampling secondary interpretationand confirmation by means of the artificial visual inter-pretation method which ensured the accuracy of coastlineproperties and the distribution boundary of the classificationresults From the coastline extraction results over the time-frame 2000 samples were extracted for analysis As per theprobability calculation the ratio of conforming samples wasup to 95 or above which met the required standards
4 Analysis of Coastline LengthChanges and Trends
41 Variation of Coastline Length over the Years Variationsin coastline length reflect the overall impact of coastlineresource utilization natural erosion and siltation oceanicdynamics and other factors Changes and trends in thecoastline length depend on the development speed and trendsbetween natural coastline artificial coastline and estuarycoastline
It can be seen from Table 2 that over the past five yearsexcept for when the coastline length decreased slightly in2009 the total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased From2007-2008 and 2009ndash2011 the rate of increase of Chinarsquos
Abstract and Applied Analysis 5
artificial coastline was greater than the rate of decrease of nat-ural coastline and estuary coastline so the overall coastlinelength increased In 2009 the artificial coastline increased by436368m less than the rate of increase in 2008 The naturalcoastline and the estuary coastline decreased by 349970mmore than the rate of decrease in 2008 Analysis showed thatthe main reason for this was the formal implementation ofChinarsquos Sea Reclamation Scheme and Management Systemin 2009 The area of sea reclamation (mostly including thecutoff type of reclamation) was increased by 688738 hectaresover 2008 levels while the coastline length slightly decreasedin 2009 After 2010 when the coastal marine administrativedepartments at all levels began making considerable effortson sea reclamation management and paid more attentionto sea reclamation methods which resulted in larger pro-portions of offshore type (island type) and convex barriertype reclamations and combined with the enhancement ofenvironmental protection and ecological awareness the rateof decrease of the natural coastline and estuary coastlineslowed while the coastline length increased
42 Coastline Changes and Trends in the Future
421 PredictionMethods There was a big difference betweenthe method of endpoint rate and the average rate as cal-culating the coastline change rates It was known from thecoastline change rate calculation method and the impactfactor analysis made by Jingfu et al [26] that a changein coastline length should be regarded as a periodic andoscillating change and that the rate calculation methodshould not be used for prediction of future variation trendsHaving only five stages of data the total change in lengthof the coastline should be predicted using the grey sequenceprediction method
422 Future Variation Trend Using the grey predictionmethod the coastline length values extracted from 2007ndash2011 were included into the grey sequence prediction modelThe development factor (119886 = minus001) and the grey action(119887 =1835774) should be calculated and the grey predictionmodel GM (1 1) of coastline should be obtained
119883(1)(119905+1)

minus 263735624] 119890(001119905)

(10)
where 119883(1)(119905+1) represents the predicted accumulated valueof 119905 + 1 time 119883(0)(1) represents the original value of startingtime The accumulative length of coastline (in 2008ndash2015)should be calculated as per (10) The former term shouldbe subtracted by the later term and the coastline predictionresults were shown in Table 4 The variance ratio was 0391and the small error probability was 1 which was biggerthan 095 It was shown that the accuracy of predictedresults was consistent with the requirements Therefore thepredicted value of the mainland coastline length obtainedby the grey prediction method was in accordance with theactual conditions The predicted results showed that thefuture mainland coastline length would increase and Chinarsquos

5 Conclusions and Discussions
Through the data mining algorithm the preprocessing ofChinarsquos low-precision remote sensing images taken in theprevious five years the extraction of coastline lengths andtypes from 2007ndash2011 and the analysis of coastline changesand trends the following conclusions can be made
(1) The multisource imaging matching algorithm of aSIFT operator the geometric correction of a fewcontrol point satellite images the color-transferringalgorithm for maintaining the consistency of typ-ical surface features toning processing technologyand the automatic matching-line generation imagemosaic technology were used to preprocess the low-precision environmental disaster reduction satelliteand CBERS-01 satellite images Combined these areall effective methods
(2) The coastline can be extracted using the chromaticaberration Canny operator edge detection methodThe Kappa coefficient should be greater than 06throughout the calculation which shows that theextraction results are consistent with the actual mea-sured results By analysing the coastline type usingthe spectrum feature database trends identify adecreased natural coastline and estuary coastline butan increased artificial coastline were found Thesetrends are consistent with the current utilization ofthe coastline area in China
(3) The total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased overallThis is despite the coastline decreasing slightly in2009 due to the formal implementation of ChinarsquosSea Reclamation Scheme By using the grey predic-tion method Chinarsquos coastline length is predicted toincrease in the future with the total length reaching19471983m by 2015
With the continuous increase of artificial coastline lengthand related economic benefits the balance of the marine

322 Geometric Correction of the Coastal-Zone Image Itwas difficult to find the control points due to the largewater area on the remote sensing image at the coastal zoneMeanwhile a small number of control points were used toachieve the geometric correction of the low-precision remotesensing images in order to reduce the workload of the fieldmeasurements Combined with satellite orbit parameters andthe geometric correction model with correction precisionin different satellite data sources and terrain conditions thegeometric correction ofmultiscene imageswas jointly carriedout to achieve the geometric correction of satellite images atseveral control points in the use of the correlation betweensubscene overlapping regions
323 Automatic Toning and Mosaic of Coastal-Zone ImageImage data toning processing was carried out by using thecolor-transferring algorithm to maintain the consistency oftypical surface features In the fuzzy classificationmethod theoverlapping region calculation method and image multiscalesegmentation method were used for the study on the colortransferring algorithm to maintain the consistency of typicalsurface features The coastal-zone remote sensing image wasspliced by using the automatic matching-line generationimage mosaic technology

(2) Adaptive Calculated Dynamic Threshold A whole imagecan be divided into several subimages There might bea certain overlapping region between subimages so as to
achieve the continuous profile and calculate the parametersfor the proportion between the overlapping region and thesubimages The high and low threshold values of subimageswere adaptively set according to the nonmaximum suppres-sion results The calculation equation should be as follows
120591high = (1 minus 120573) 120591119867 + 120573120591ℎ
120591Low = (1 minus 120573) 120591119871 + 120573120591119897(7)
where 120591119867and 120591119871represent the global high and low threshold

the local high and low threshold values of subimage zonerespectively 0 lt 120573 lt 1 represents the threshold adjustmentrate If 120573 = 0 the whole image should not be adjusted If120573 = 1 the whole image should be divided fully in accordancewith the local features of the subimages
(3) Boundary Tracking Generated Coastline When the pointwith the chromatic aberration amplitude of a certain pixelin the whole image is greater than the high threshold valuewhich was used as the starting point for tracking theneighborhood pixel (other chromatic aberration amplitudeswithin the 8 pixel neighborhoods were greater than the highthreshold value) should be set as the edge and used as thestarting point for tracking If there were no pixels (chromaticaberration amplitude was greater than the high thresholdvalue) around the pixel point the pixel (chromatic aberrationamplitudewas greater than the low threshold value) should bediscovered within the 8 pixel neighborhoods and used as thestarting point for tracking up until the edge and the startingpoint cannot be found and thus determined as the contourendpoint The template was checked to determine whetherthe edge could be connected In the event of any noise at theisolated point it should be removed Finally the boundarywas extracted for fine processing

332 Validation of Coastline Extraction Results After thecompletion of the coastline extraction algorithm model itwas necessary to test and validate the model extractionresultsThe validationmethods of themodel extraction resultshould include the point-by-point comparison method andthe overall comparison method Point-by-point inspectionrefers to the superposition of extracted results and actualconditions with point-by-point comparison as to its accu-racy Overall comparison should refer to the evaluation ofextracted results by means of the indexes for the overallspatial pattern as discussed byWu [23]TheKappa coefficientwas selected to quantitatively reflect the model operation forextracting the accuracy of coastline This was mainly basedon the different-stage coastline extraction results and thecorresponding remote sensing image data to carry out theKappa coefficient calculation of the adjacent grid map todetermine the average coefficient value of results at each stageand to obtain the Kappa coefficient for the accuracy of coast-line extraction results over the timeframe The calculationequation should be as follows

It can be seen from Table 3 that all the Kappa coefficientsobtained in the previous five years were greater than 06 andthat the accuracy coefficients obtained in the previous fiveyears were less than 0023 Previous studies about Kappa byBlackman and Koval [24] and Landis and Koch [25] haveshown that the coastline extraction results achieved using thechromatic aberration Canny operator edge detectionmethodshould be consistent with the actual coastline heights and thecoastline extraction results in 2010 and 2011 should be almostcompletely consistent with the actual coastline heights
333 Validation of Coastline Classification Results In orderto ensure the accuracy of the coastline classification resultsthe supervised classification method was used to completethe automatic classification of the coastline remote sensingimages and to carry out sampling secondary interpretationand confirmation by means of the artificial visual inter-pretation method which ensured the accuracy of coastlineproperties and the distribution boundary of the classificationresults From the coastline extraction results over the time-frame 2000 samples were extracted for analysis As per theprobability calculation the ratio of conforming samples wasup to 95 or above which met the required standards
4 Analysis of Coastline LengthChanges and Trends
41 Variation of Coastline Length over the Years Variationsin coastline length reflect the overall impact of coastlineresource utilization natural erosion and siltation oceanicdynamics and other factors Changes and trends in thecoastline length depend on the development speed and trendsbetween natural coastline artificial coastline and estuarycoastline
It can be seen from Table 2 that over the past five yearsexcept for when the coastline length decreased slightly in2009 the total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased From2007-2008 and 2009ndash2011 the rate of increase of Chinarsquos
Abstract and Applied Analysis 5
artificial coastline was greater than the rate of decrease of nat-ural coastline and estuary coastline so the overall coastlinelength increased In 2009 the artificial coastline increased by436368m less than the rate of increase in 2008 The naturalcoastline and the estuary coastline decreased by 349970mmore than the rate of decrease in 2008 Analysis showed thatthe main reason for this was the formal implementation ofChinarsquos Sea Reclamation Scheme and Management Systemin 2009 The area of sea reclamation (mostly including thecutoff type of reclamation) was increased by 688738 hectaresover 2008 levels while the coastline length slightly decreasedin 2009 After 2010 when the coastal marine administrativedepartments at all levels began making considerable effortson sea reclamation management and paid more attentionto sea reclamation methods which resulted in larger pro-portions of offshore type (island type) and convex barriertype reclamations and combined with the enhancement ofenvironmental protection and ecological awareness the rateof decrease of the natural coastline and estuary coastlineslowed while the coastline length increased
42 Coastline Changes and Trends in the Future
421 PredictionMethods There was a big difference betweenthe method of endpoint rate and the average rate as cal-culating the coastline change rates It was known from thecoastline change rate calculation method and the impactfactor analysis made by Jingfu et al [26] that a changein coastline length should be regarded as a periodic andoscillating change and that the rate calculation methodshould not be used for prediction of future variation trendsHaving only five stages of data the total change in lengthof the coastline should be predicted using the grey sequenceprediction method
422 Future Variation Trend Using the grey predictionmethod the coastline length values extracted from 2007ndash2011 were included into the grey sequence prediction modelThe development factor (119886 = minus001) and the grey action(119887 =1835774) should be calculated and the grey predictionmodel GM (1 1) of coastline should be obtained
119883(1)(119905+1)

minus 263735624] 119890(001119905)
minus 263735624
(10)
where 119883(1)(119905+1) represents the predicted accumulated valueof 119905 + 1 time 119883(0)(1) represents the original value of startingtime The accumulative length of coastline (in 2008ndash2015)should be calculated as per (10) The former term shouldbe subtracted by the later term and the coastline predictionresults were shown in Table 4 The variance ratio was 0391and the small error probability was 1 which was biggerthan 095 It was shown that the accuracy of predictedresults was consistent with the requirements Therefore thepredicted value of the mainland coastline length obtainedby the grey prediction method was in accordance with theactual conditions The predicted results showed that thefuture mainland coastline length would increase and Chinarsquos

5 Conclusions and Discussions
Through the data mining algorithm the preprocessing ofChinarsquos low-precision remote sensing images taken in theprevious five years the extraction of coastline lengths andtypes from 2007ndash2011 and the analysis of coastline changesand trends the following conclusions can be made
(1) The multisource imaging matching algorithm of aSIFT operator the geometric correction of a fewcontrol point satellite images the color-transferringalgorithm for maintaining the consistency of typ-ical surface features toning processing technologyand the automatic matching-line generation imagemosaic technology were used to preprocess the low-precision environmental disaster reduction satelliteand CBERS-01 satellite images Combined these areall effective methods
(2) The coastline can be extracted using the chromaticaberration Canny operator edge detection methodThe Kappa coefficient should be greater than 06throughout the calculation which shows that theextraction results are consistent with the actual mea-sured results By analysing the coastline type usingthe spectrum feature database trends identify adecreased natural coastline and estuary coastline butan increased artificial coastline were found Thesetrends are consistent with the current utilization ofthe coastline area in China
(3) The total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased overallThis is despite the coastline decreasing slightly in2009 due to the formal implementation of ChinarsquosSea Reclamation Scheme By using the grey predic-tion method Chinarsquos coastline length is predicted toincrease in the future with the total length reaching19471983m by 2015
With the continuous increase of artificial coastline lengthand related economic benefits the balance of the marine

(2) Adaptive Calculated Dynamic Threshold A whole imagecan be divided into several subimages There might bea certain overlapping region between subimages so as to
achieve the continuous profile and calculate the parametersfor the proportion between the overlapping region and thesubimages The high and low threshold values of subimageswere adaptively set according to the nonmaximum suppres-sion results The calculation equation should be as follows

the local high and low threshold values of subimage zonerespectively 0 lt 120573 lt 1 represents the threshold adjustmentrate If 120573 = 0 the whole image should not be adjusted If120573 = 1 the whole image should be divided fully in accordancewith the local features of the subimages
(3) Boundary Tracking Generated Coastline When the pointwith the chromatic aberration amplitude of a certain pixelin the whole image is greater than the high threshold valuewhich was used as the starting point for tracking theneighborhood pixel (other chromatic aberration amplitudeswithin the 8 pixel neighborhoods were greater than the highthreshold value) should be set as the edge and used as thestarting point for tracking If there were no pixels (chromaticaberration amplitude was greater than the high thresholdvalue) around the pixel point the pixel (chromatic aberrationamplitudewas greater than the low threshold value) should bediscovered within the 8 pixel neighborhoods and used as thestarting point for tracking up until the edge and the startingpoint cannot be found and thus determined as the contourendpoint The template was checked to determine whetherthe edge could be connected In the event of any noise at theisolated point it should be removed Finally the boundarywas extracted for fine processing

42 Coastline Changes and Trends in the Future
421 PredictionMethods There was a big difference betweenthe method of endpoint rate and the average rate as cal-culating the coastline change rates It was known from thecoastline change rate calculation method and the impactfactor analysis made by Jingfu et al [26] that a changein coastline length should be regarded as a periodic andoscillating change and that the rate calculation methodshould not be used for prediction of future variation trendsHaving only five stages of data the total change in lengthof the coastline should be predicted using the grey sequenceprediction method
422 Future Variation Trend Using the grey predictionmethod the coastline length values extracted from 2007ndash2011 were included into the grey sequence prediction modelThe development factor (119886 = minus001) and the grey action(119887 =1835774) should be calculated and the grey predictionmodel GM (1 1) of coastline should be obtained

5 Conclusions and Discussions
Through the data mining algorithm the preprocessing ofChinarsquos low-precision remote sensing images taken in theprevious five years the extraction of coastline lengths andtypes from 2007ndash2011 and the analysis of coastline changesand trends the following conclusions can be made
(1) The multisource imaging matching algorithm of aSIFT operator the geometric correction of a fewcontrol point satellite images the color-transferringalgorithm for maintaining the consistency of typ-ical surface features toning processing technologyand the automatic matching-line generation imagemosaic technology were used to preprocess the low-precision environmental disaster reduction satelliteand CBERS-01 satellite images Combined these areall effective methods
(2) The coastline can be extracted using the chromaticaberration Canny operator edge detection methodThe Kappa coefficient should be greater than 06throughout the calculation which shows that theextraction results are consistent with the actual mea-sured results By analysing the coastline type usingthe spectrum feature database trends identify adecreased natural coastline and estuary coastline butan increased artificial coastline were found Thesetrends are consistent with the current utilization ofthe coastline area in China
(3) The total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased overallThis is despite the coastline decreasing slightly in2009 due to the formal implementation of ChinarsquosSea Reclamation Scheme By using the grey predic-tion method Chinarsquos coastline length is predicted toincrease in the future with the total length reaching19471983m by 2015
With the continuous increase of artificial coastline lengthand related economic benefits the balance of the marine

5 Conclusions and Discussions
Through the data mining algorithm the preprocessing ofChinarsquos low-precision remote sensing images taken in theprevious five years the extraction of coastline lengths andtypes from 2007ndash2011 and the analysis of coastline changesand trends the following conclusions can be made
(1) The multisource imaging matching algorithm of aSIFT operator the geometric correction of a fewcontrol point satellite images the color-transferringalgorithm for maintaining the consistency of typ-ical surface features toning processing technologyand the automatic matching-line generation imagemosaic technology were used to preprocess the low-precision environmental disaster reduction satelliteand CBERS-01 satellite images Combined these areall effective methods
(2) The coastline can be extracted using the chromaticaberration Canny operator edge detection methodThe Kappa coefficient should be greater than 06throughout the calculation which shows that theextraction results are consistent with the actual mea-sured results By analysing the coastline type usingthe spectrum feature database trends identify adecreased natural coastline and estuary coastline butan increased artificial coastline were found Thesetrends are consistent with the current utilization ofthe coastline area in China
(3) The total length of Chinarsquos coastline increased overallThis is despite the coastline decreasing slightly in2009 due to the formal implementation of ChinarsquosSea Reclamation Scheme By using the grey predic-tion method Chinarsquos coastline length is predicted toincrease in the future with the total length reaching19471983m by 2015
With the continuous increase of artificial coastline lengthand related economic benefits the balance of the marine

artificial coastline was greater than the rate of decrease of nat-ural coastline and estuary coastline so the overall coastlinelength increased In 2009 the artificial coastline increased by436368m less than the rate of increase in 2008 The naturalcoastline and the estuary coastline decreased by 349970mmore than the rate of decrease in 2008 Analysis showed thatthe main reason for this was the formal implementation ofChinarsquos Sea Reclamation Scheme and Management Systemin 2009 The area of sea reclamation (mostly including thecutoff type of reclamation) was increased by 688738 hectaresover 2008 levels while the coastline length slightly decreasedin 2009 After 2010 when the coastal marine administrativedepartments at all levels began making considerable effortson sea reclamation management and paid more attentionto sea reclamation methods which resulted in larger pro-portions of offshore type (island type) and convex barriertype reclamations and combined with the enhancement ofenvironmental protection and ecological awareness the rateof decrease of the natural coastline and estuary coastlineslowed while the coastline length increased
42 Coastline Changes and Trends in the Future
421 PredictionMethods There was a big difference betweenthe method of endpoint rate and the average rate as cal-culating the coastline change rates It was known from thecoastline change rate calculation method and the impactfactor analysis made by Jingfu et al [26] that a changein coastline length should be regarded as a periodic andoscillating change and that the rate calculation methodshould not be used for prediction of future variation trendsHaving only five stages of data the total change in lengthof the coastline should be predicted using the grey sequenceprediction method
422 Future Variation Trend Using the grey predictionmethod the coastline length values extracted from 2007ndash2011 were included into the grey sequence prediction modelThe development factor (119886 = minus001) and the grey action(119887 =1835774) should be calculated and the grey predictionmodel GM (1 1) of coastline should be obtained

where 119883(1)(119905+1) represents the predicted accumulated valueof 119905 + 1 time 119883(0)(1) represents the original value of startingtime The accumulative length of coastline (in 2008ndash2015)should be calculated as per (10) The former term shouldbe subtracted by the later term and the coastline predictionresults were shown in Table 4 The variance ratio was 0391and the small error probability was 1 which was biggerthan 095 It was shown that the accuracy of predictedresults was consistent with the requirements Therefore thepredicted value of the mainland coastline length obtainedby the grey prediction method was in accordance with theactual conditions The predicted results showed that thefuture mainland coastline length would increase and Chinarsquos
