Application of Neural Networks in Coastal Engineering – an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is being applied to solve a wide variety of coastal/ocean engineering problems. In practical terms ANNs are non-linear modeling tools and they can be used to model complex relationship between the input and output system. In addition, ANNs have a very high degree of freedom and are very simple to train the system for any number of input values, which makes the network attractive and reliable. ANNs are ideally suited to find many solutions like pattern reorganization, data classification, forecasting future events and time series analysis. This paper gives an overview of application of ANN in the field of coastal engineering.

Flood Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks: an Application of Multi-Model Data Fusion technique
Floods are among the natural disasters that cause human hardship and economic loss. Establishing a viable flood forecasting and warning system for communities at risk can mitigate these adverse effects. However, establishing an accurate flood forecasting system is still challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the effective variables in forecasting. The present study has indicated that th...
متن کاملThe Application of Multi-Layer Artificial Neural Networks in Speckle Reduction (Methodology)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses the spatial and temporal coherence properties of optical waves backscattered from a tissue sample to form an image. An inherent characteristic of coherent imaging is the presence of speckle noise. In this study we use a new ensemble framework which is a combination of several Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks to denoise OCT images. The noise is...
