Mapping of flooding in the Alessandria area with ERS
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004We demonstrate a fully automatic flood detector for non-forested areas on an ERS SAR image of the 1994 flooding incident in Alessandria, Italy. The flood detector is capable of detecting the majority of the flooded area. However, there are some undetected flooded areas which exhibit high backscatter caused by double bouncing from flooded ...

Geospatial techniques for flood inundation mapping
2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016In India, most of the rivers form big size natural islands due to change in its course. However, identification of suitable river island for construction of Eco-friendly parks/tourist destination is a very challenging task since these are exposed to river flooding.

Autonomous Exploration and Mapping of Flooded Sinkholes
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2009In this paper, we describe the control, navigation, and mapping methods that were developed for a hovering autonomous underwater vehicle that explored flooded cenotes in Mexico. The cenotes of Sistema Zacatón in Tamaulipas, Mexico are flooded sinkholes, exotic geological formations with unique water chemistry.

Rapid flood mapping: Fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar flood extents with flood hazard maps
Rigorous flood monitoring by ICEYE is enabled by the large-scale and systematic availability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the satellite constellation deployed and operated by ICEYE [1, 2]. However, in dense urban areas and under tree canopy cover, using single X-band based SAR images directly for rapid flood detection inherits large ...Ambika Khadka +2 more

This chapter presents an overview of the important concepts related to flood hazard assessments and explores the use of remote sensing data from satellites to supplement traditional assessment techniques. The method presented in this chapter can be used in sectoral planning activities and integrated planning studies and for damage assessment.

Sungai Pahang digital flood mapping: 2007 flood
International Journal of River Basin Management, 2012In this study, visits to areas in the subcatchments of Sungai Pahang, including Mentakab, Temerloh, Maran and Pekan, were made throughout the year 2009 to obtain information regarding inundation areas, flood depth, flow discharge and water levels relevant to the 2007 flood.

On the Flood-IMPAT procedure for flood risk analysis and mapping
River Flow 2016, 2016This paper presents and analyses Flood-IMPAT, a new procedure for the assessment and mapping of flood risk at the meso-scale, developed with the main objective of supporting the implementation of the European "Floods Directive". In particular, the paper investigates two of the problems that arose after a first implementation of the procedure in north ...

Flood Damage Estimation and Flood Risk Mapping
2007ABSTRACT: The damages in Germany due to severe flood disasters in the last decades amount to billions of Euro. For example, the Rhine floods in 1993 with 530M a, and in 1995 with 280M a, the Odra flood in 1997 with 330M a, the Danube flood in 1999 with 412M a, the Elbe and Danube flood in 2002 with 11800M a (Kron, 2004).

Flood risk maps are the essential tools for land use planning in flood-prone areas. The basic criteria for mapping are usually chosen according to flood return periods. Sometimes, the expected water depth or dynamic considerations are used instead. These criteria are discussed on mapping examples from several countries.
