Fine spatial resolution remotely sensed imagery has considerable potential for mapping a shoreline. Although fine spatial resolution imagery typically allows the instantaneous shoreline to be mapped with high accuracy, interest is normally focused on a reference shoreline, defined on a stable vertical datum, which is generally not apparent in the imagery unless acquired at a time carefully coordinated with the tidal characteristics of the region. To map a tidecoordinated shoreline, such as the mean sea level ( MSL), information on terrain topography, bathymetry and tidal characteristics is required. In this study, IKONOS imagery was used to derive topographic and bathymetric information for an extract of the Malaysian coast and combined with a tide chart for the region to map the MSL. The digital elevation model ( DEM) derived had a root mean square error ( RMSE), calculated on independent control points, of,2.2m while the bathymetric model had an RMSE of 0.87 m. The shoreline derived from the combination of the DEM, bathymetry and tidal information was mapped with an RMSE of 1.8 m.
