WebCOOS Technical Documentation¶
This project, Webcam Coastal Observation System (WebCOOS), will develop a webcam coastal observing network for quantitative scientific analysis, public safety, and resource management for coastal municipalities.
To accomplish this, standardized data processing and management methodology will be established to provide stakeholders such as lifeguards, emergency managers, and coastal managers with actionable information from webcam videos.
The WebCOOS project partners with Axiom Data Science (AXDS) to provide camera ingestion and stream hosting solutions. AXDS is an informatics and software development firm focused on developing scalable solutions which can be leveraged across a variety of users, clients and institutions in order to make the best tools for data management, integration, and visualization. AXDS supports a variety of federal, private, academic and non-governmental organizations managing and conducting research in the ecological, geological and ocean sciences.
