This paper proposes a level set based coastline detection method by using the template initialization and local energy minimization. It can complete the sea-land boundary detection in infrared channel image. This method is an improvement on the traditional level set algorithm by using the information of GSHHS to optimize the initialization procedure, which can reduce the number of iterations and numerical errors. Moreover, this method optimizes regional energy functional, and can achieve the rapid coastline detection. Experiments on the IR image of FY-2 satellite show that the method has fast speed and high accuracy.
