Regarding the application of remote sensing and related data processing methodologies to the analysis and monitoring of the coastal environment, an innovative technique for the extraction of the coastline from space borne or aerial images has been developed. The interactive method proposed is based on the involvement of the local contextual information which is always present in remotely sensed data. The exploitability and reliability of the algorithm for the shoreline identification have been tested by processing images from different sensors. Some of the obtained results are shown.
