These are versions of the Standalone Channel Shifting Toolbox (SCS Toolbox) modules, designed to work as Python Processing Scripts in QGIS (tested using version 3.40.11-Bratislava). The modules have been ported to QGIS and further modified by Martin Dawson using ChatGPT v.5.1

Standalone channel shifting toolbox (SCS Toolbox) was developed as extension of the FluvialCorridor toolbox with implemented the centerline

extraction approach and segmentation of DGO from FluvialCorridor toolbox.

For each use of the Channel toolbox leading to a publication, report, presentation or any other

document, please refer also to the following articles:
