Abstract
The Dutch coast is characterized by sandy beaches flanked by dunes. Its morphology is essential for the defense against flooding of the hinterland. Therefore it is monitored on a yearly basis by Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS). However, it is recognized that most erosion of the beach and first dune row takes place during storms. To assess the state of the coast immediately after a storm with ALS is expensive and difficult to organize. Here, the performance of a Land-based Mobile Mapping System (LMMS) is evaluated. A test data set was obtained by Geomaat using the StreetMapper LMMS system, employing three individual line scanners. Both the relative quality of laser point heights and of a derive..
