Report

Number of participants 27

The fast estimation of the dimension of destruction after a major disaster is the first step in the recovery of the affected area. The analysis of data derived from satellite and aerial images can provide in a short time reliable information about the magnitude and location of disaster waste.

– Data processing can help to enhance the resolution of images and improve the quality of estimation.

– More precise estimation methods are required for the determination of affected and unaffected areas.

– The prediction of disaster consequences is required for an efficient preparation of an emergency case.

Outline

Areas devastated by mega-disasters suffer from severe damages of their infrastructures. Lack of information prevents fast reconstruction of the affected areas. The analysis of aerial photographs and satellite images can be employed to gather information of the affected areas necessary for their reconstruction. The results can be widely used for planning the tasks required for recovery such as scheduling the waste removal and the business recovery process for companies, etc. The aim of this forum is to introduce our effort to detect the damaged building and to estimate the amount of disaster debris (waste) by using aerial photographs and by satellite images, and to discuss the future perspective of applying the results to disaster waste transport planning and water resource management system.
