Monitoring these changes has been the subject of interest for many years with the hope of predicting future patterns of beach morphology (Ramasinghe et al., 2004). In 1992 the Oregon State University developed the ARGUS video program at their Coastal Imaging Laboratory. These stations have since been installed at eleven permanent sites around the world with video cameras constantly monitoring beach states. The information collected by these stations can determine morphology, length scales and temporal variability of sand bar and beach systems (Coastal Imaging Lab, 2005).
