Data acquisition
The following is a brief list of data providers that the project team have acquired image data from for working in the coastal environment. It is not exhaustive. Users are referred to The Dec 2005 / Jan 2006 Edition of “Position”, the journal of the Australian Spatial Sciences Institute for its listing of image data providers (http://positionmag.com.au/POS/pos_frame.html).
