Abstract

This disclosure relates to generating an output shoreline model such as for increasing the resolution of the model in certain areas. A computer receives historical vessel location data comprising for each of multiple vessels, multiple historical locations of that vessel and receives an input shoreline model defining waterways and landmasses. The computer then determines landmass areas in the input shoreline model that include the multiple historical locations of multiple vessels from the historical vessel location data and assigns the landmass areas in the input shoreline model that include the multiple historical locations to the waterways in the input shoreline model to thereby create an output shoreline model with an increased resolution at the waterway.
