Assessment and validation of bathymetric inversion techniques using synthetic waves

Abstract

Bathymetric inversion using video images is a new and promising technique in order to monitor beach morphology. In this TFG, a Boussinesq model called FunWave and a linear wave propagation routine will be used to create synthetic wave propagation over different bathymetries. Two bathymetric inversion methodologies will be subsequently applied to retrieve the bathymetry, comparing their results and analysing their sensitivity to different aspects, in order to understand and improve their performance.
