This project conducted a survey of coastline's current situations via UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) aerial photography throughout Taiwan. The project took place between August and October of 2014 and surveyed 12 counties along the west coast from New Taipei City to Pingtung County, a total of 188.1Km. Film resolution for the project is at least 20*20cm orthophotos and videos.GPS information is recorded for increased coordinate accuracy on all aerial photos. This project used lower cost to obtain a large quantity of high resolution, in-time images of coastline areas in a short period of time. This information can be utilized in environmental surveys, monitoring pollution levels as well as for reference in developing sites. We can also use this information to screen environmental degradation, as well as used in investigation and amelioration. The benefit of this information will be increased observation and knowledge of environmental concerns dealing with pollution along Taiwan's west coast.
