USGS CoastCam at Dorado, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Intrinsic and Extrinsic Calibration Data (Camera 1)

Two digital video cameras were installed at Dorado, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced west alongshore and camera 2 faced northeast alongshore. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This metadata record is for camera 1 and includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration data to utilize imagery to make quantitative measurements. The initial IO calibration was completed during a previous camera installation (Brown and others, 2024), a second IO calibration was completed during this deployment period. The cameras are part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research project to study the beach and nearshore environment. 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.
