Abilities of Airborne and Space-Borne Sensors for Managing Natural Disasters
نویسنده
چکیده
Mankind is putting increasing pressure on the one and only Earth his race has to share, not only by sheer numbers but also, unfortunately, wasteful lifestyle. Those numbers and that lifestyle are causing many areas to become rapidly more vulnerable to a wide range of technological, environmental and natural hazards. It is generally agreed that the availability of proper geo-data is crucial for the entire management cycle of disasters. The Geo-information technology community has produced and continues to produce floods of airborne, space-borne and other accurate, timely and detailed data. All these data are well suited as sound foundation for disaster management. The Geo-information technology community has also developed and continues to develop sophisticated technology to process and analyse the data in order for it to arrive at the right information at the right time and to disseminate it to the right persons. The present paper provides backdrops on the abilities of airborne and space-borne sensors for managing natural disasters.

Designing and Validating a local Model for Managing Natural Disasters in Villages (Case study: Ardabil province); A Mixed Approach
Background and objective: The severity of natural disasters in many rural parts of the country is such that the continuation of the social and economic life of the residents of these areas always faces a crisis. Villages are more vulnerable to natural disasters and hazards due to their traditional structure and texture compared to cities, and every year, natural disasters cause a lot of damage ...
متن کاملBridge Height Estimation from Combined High-resolution Optical and Sar Imagery
Today’s airborne (Memphis, AeS-1, Ramses) and space borne (TerraSAR-X, CosmoSkyMed, Radarsat) SAR sensors provide very high resolution imagery independent of daylight and cloud coverage. Space borne systems achieve geometrical resolutions of down to one meter while airborne sensors are capable of acquiring images with sub metric resolution. In this kind of data, urban objects like buildings and...

In recent years, differential interferometry using space-borne SAR sensors has become an established technique for detecting and monitoring centimetre-scale deformations of the earth’s surface, as well as glacier flows and land slides. Although often very efficient, the use of space-borne SAR data has several drawbacks, namely phase artifacts caused by atmospheric effects and very low coherence...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Technology for Earthquake Damage Detection
Remotely sensed imagery data from satellites and airborne platforms have become important tools to assess vulnerability of urban areas and to grasp damage distribution due to natural disasters. The platform and sensors of remote sensing should be selected considering the area to cover, urgency, weather and time conditions, and resolution of images. Satellites with optical and/or SAR sensors can...
متن کاملBuilding Recognition Based on Airborne and Space Borne Insar Data
Because of its independence of time of day and its all weather capability, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become a key remote sensing technique in the last decades. In the past, spatial resolution of space borne SAR systems was rather coarse, so the exploitation of building signature and even the reconstruction of buildings in dense urban areas based on InSAR data was restricted to commerci...
