CoastSat is an open-source software toolkit written in Python that enables users to obtain time-series of shoreline position at any coastline worldwide from 30+ years (and growing) of publicly available satellite imagery.
When `check_detection` is set to `True`, a figure like the one below appears and asks the user to manually accept/reject each detection by clicking on `keep` or `skip`.
Once all the shorelines have been mapped, the output is available in two different formats (saved under *.\data\sitename*):
- `sitename_output.pkl`: contains a list with the shoreline coordinates and the exact timestamp at which the image was captured (UTC time) as well as the geometric accuracy and the cloud cover of each indivdual image. This list can be manipulated with Python, a snippet of code to plot the results is provided in the main script.
