Abstract
Remote sensing technology nowadays is one of the most useful tools for scientific research in general and for oceanography in particular. From satellite images, the useful information such as waterline images can be extracte for a large region simultaneously. After tidal adjustments, the waterlines can be used as the observed shorelines which are important inputs for estimating shoreline changes by either using the integration of remote sensing and GIS or using numerical models. Based on the spectral bands of various Landsat images, the paper presents the methods to detect the waterlines in Phan Thiet region in the 40 years period using the images of 1973, 1976, 1990, and 2002 respectively. The extracted results relatively agree with the information of waterline from the images.
