S. Vos, C. van IJzendoorn, R. Lindenbergh and A. de Wulf published a part of the CoastScan data set as processed for the research article: “Asynchronous dune development on a Dutch urbanized beach due to buildings and other anthropogenic influences” via 4TU.ResearchData
A new visualisation of the point cloud data set from Kijkduin can be found online: Link. It was generated and published by ScanLabs Projects using our publicly available data set.
The entire PLS data set acquired in Noordwijk between 11 July 2019 and 21 June 2022 is now published via 4TU.ResearchData. The data set contains all point clouds from the hourly scans available over the three-year period. Each point cloud contains a ~1km long part of the coast (dunes and beach) in front of Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk.

A new post about CoastScan and the follow-up project AdaptCoast appeared in the news of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geoscience of Delft University of Technology.
The article by I. Barbero-García was published in the International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. It deals with the automatic detection of bulldozer works on the CoastScan study site in Noordwijk. The bulldozers are detected in images from video cameras and sightings are compared with changes detected in the 3D point clouds from permanent laser scanning.
D. Hulskemper presented his work at the ISPRS workshop O3DM on 15 and 16 December 2022 in Würzburg, Germany. For his Master thesis he is working on grouping and analyzing 4D objects by change derived from the data set collected for CoastScan in Kijkduin, using unsupervised machine learning. His results allow to interpret and compare weather conditions with different types of surface activities on the sandy beach in Kijkduin. The full contribution can be read here: Link.
On the RIEGL website and in the RIEGL newsletter the latest publication by S. Vos et. al was mentioned, describing the CoastScan setup in Kijkduin and the 6-month data collection: Link to RIEGL-website. Next to a link to the publication in Nature Scientific Data, the text describes the motivation and highlights the specification of our RIEGL VZ-2000 laser scanner.
On 21-06-2022 the last scans were taken from the scanner location in Noordwijk. The scanner was removed in the following days and is sent for maintenance to the manufacturer. We thank Hotel Huis ter Duin for their cooperation and are now working on processing the collected scans of the past three years.
