Monitoring of Recovery Process at Yeongildae Beach, South Korea, Using a Video System

Once a beach is eroded by storm waves, it is generally recovered under milder wave conditions. To prevent or reduce damage, it is therefore important to understand the characteristics of the site-specific recovery process. Here, we present the results, based on a data set from a video monitoring sys...
