Abstract

The Black Sea basin has rich oil and natural gas resources. As a result, determining the continental shelf in international relations and maritime law is a critical issue for countries with a shoreline on the Black Sea, which is a semi-enclosed sea. Global projections are generally used for the projection of satellites used to image the earth. The use of global projections causes increased deformation in applications in local areas. For this reason, the deformation of satellite images used as a base can be reduced by converting them to the appropriate projection. In this study, the coastline lengths of the countries neighboring the Black Sea were calculated by using remote sensing images and selecting the appropriate cartographic projection due to the aim of minimum map deformation. By using different numbers of control points to determine the six parameters of the 2D Affine transformation used for coordinate transformation, the change in the accuracy of the transformation depending on the number of control points was examined. The Black Sea coastline, which was digitized in the local coordinate system via the MODIS satellite image, was transformed into coordinates in the oblique stereographic projection system with 2D affine transformation. 11 test points were used in the affine transformation parameters calculated using different control points, and root mean square error (RMSE) of approximately 6 km on the X axis and approximately 10 km on the Y axis was achieved using 25 control points. As a result of the transformation, the coastline lengths of each country bordering the Black Sea were determined in oblique stereographic projection.
