USGS CoastCam CACO-02 at Marconi Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts (2024): Imagery and Calibration Data - Imagery Dataset

A digital video camera was installed at Marconi Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts (MA) as part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research project to study the beach and nearshore environment. The camera faced north-east along the beach and every hour during daylight hours, daily from January 2024 to September 2024, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes raw camera photos and the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration photos to utilize imagery to make quantitative measurements. USGS researchers analyzed the imagery collected from this camera to remotely sense a range of information including shoreline position, sandbar migration, wave run-up on the beach, alongshore currents, and nearshore bathymetry. This camera is part of the USGS CoastCam network, supported by the Total Water Level/Coastal Change Project under the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP).
