This study tests a uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) structure-from-motion workflow combining refraction correction and ground filtering to map shallow gravel-bed bay terrain. Validation shows useful accuracy and effective removal of floating ice and gravel, offering a low-cost mapping strategy for remote coasts.
