TLDR
In this article, the authors used time exposure video images of the nearshore region at Duck, NC to study transverse sand bars, bathymetric features of intermediate length scales (10-200m) oriented oblique or perpendicular to the shoreline.About:

Patterns in the sand: From forcing templates to self-organization
Giovanni Coco,A. Brad Murray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the sweeping shift from template explanations to self-organization by discussing four nearshore patterns: beach cusps, surfzone crescentic sandbars, inner-shelf sorted bedforms, and large-scale cuspate shorelines.

Analysis of the scale of errors in nearshore bathymetric data
TL;DR: In this article, scale-controlled interpolation of bathymetric features that were unresolved or poorly resolved (e.g. beach cusps) introduced the potential for contamination in two of the data sets, leading to more accurate representations of the actual bathymetry.

Morphodynamics of intermediate beaches: a video imaging and numerical modelling study
TL;DR: Wright et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a phenomenological scheme based on surf zone properties for the classification of the four intermediate beach states [low tide terrace (LTT), transverse bar rip (TBR), rhythmic bar beach (RBB), and longshore bar trough (LBT)] identified by Wright, L.D., Short, A.

Geologic control in the nearshore: shore-oblique sandbars and shoreline erosional hotspots, Mid-Atlantic Bight, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the underlying geologic strata may also exert a first-order control on nearshore morphology by influencing the stability and/or persistent re-establishment of large-scale sandbar morphology and position as well as surface sediment characteristics.

The Performance of Shoreline Detection Models Applied to Video Imagery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used digital images of the intertidal region to map shorelines and the inter-tidal bathymetry along four geo-morphically and hydrodynamically distinct coastlines in the United States, United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Australia.

Morphodynamic variability of surf zones and beaches: A synthesis
L.D Wright,Andrew D. Short +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of some results obtained over the period 1979-1982 from a study of beach and surf zone dynamics is presented, dealing with the different natural beach states, the process signatures associated with these states, environmental controls on modal beach state, and the temporal variability of beach state and beach profiles.

Practical use of video imagery in nearshore oceanographic field studies
TL;DR: In this article, an approach was developed for using video imagery to quantify, in terms of both spatial and temporal dimensions, a number of naturally occurring (nearshore) physical processes.

A simple model for interannual sandbar behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple heuristic model to estimate the long-term mean sandbar position offshore, toward the equilibrium position associated with the largest waves, where the model assumes that bars migrate toward a wave height dependent equilibrium position, and the rate of bar response is taken to be variable and empirically determined to be proportional to the wave height cubed.
