Using open-source methodologies in coastal research: a comparison of change detection techniques

Main Article Content

Alejandro Gómez Pazo

Abstract

El estudio de la costa ha tenido una gran importancia histórica, que se ha incrementado con la llegada de las nuevas tecnologías y el posible impacto del cambio global. En este contexto, las herramientas de código abierto se presentan como un pilar fundamental en esta rama de la investigación. Este proyecto analiza las ventajas e inconvenientes de las herramientas de software libre para la estimación de las variaciones costeras y de los cambios volumétricos empleando un pequeño sector gallego como ejemplo. Se ha podido comprobar cómo las aproximaciones de código abierto presentan resultados muy semejantes a las opciones con software privativo (ratios ≥ 0.97), mejorando en algunos casos los tiempos de procesado y ofreciendo unas mayores posibilidades de personalización y capacidad de decisión a los usuarios.
