| Zusammenfassung |
| Earth observation techniques currently offer a unique capability to monitor the evolution of the geophysical processes by providing views at various temporal and spatial resolutions. This wealth of remote sensing data conveys a huge potential for the development of techniques to build risk scenarios associated to natural or man-made disasters.
Specifically focusing on flood risk, a successful exploitation of this potential requires not only accurate and reliable image-analysis methods to extract the desired thematic information, but also the ability to merge this information with physically based models of the observed processes.
In this work, we investigate the key issues involved in the exploitation of satellite data with special focus on the phases of the emergency and post-disaster damage assessment.
A multidisciplinary approach combining remote sensing with hydrometeorology, is proposed here. To this end, the challenges and the methodological approaches involved in the multidisciplinary combination of image analysis and hydrometeorology are discussed with the purpose of guiding and optimizing the process of information extraction from satellite data according to the requirements of civil protection from floods. Experimental examples of a few relevant case studies are also presented. |
