Popis: Roh, J.Y.; Shin, M.S.; Suh, Y.C.; Yang, I.T., and Lee, D.H., 2017. Evaluation of nautical chart adequacy in the coastal area around Incheon Bay using satellite imagery with AIS data. In: Lee, J.L.; Griffiths, T.; Lotan, A.; Suh, K.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), The 2nd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 79, pp. 319–323. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The Nautical Chart (NC) is an essential tool for marine navigation that depicts the configuration of the shoreline and seafloor, such as bathymetry, locations of dangers to navigation, locations and characteristics of aids for navigation, anchorages, and other features. These features could be continuously changed according to the nature of a waterway and human activities. Hence, using the old or uncorrected NC for navigation is strongly prohibited. Moreover, the adequacy of NC is a must for the safety of the seaway before navigation. The general manner of ensuring the adequacy of NC is to access ...
