説明

Real-time flood mapping with an automatic flood-detection technique is important in emergency response efforts. However, current mapping technology still has limitations in accurately expressing information on flood areas such as inundation depth and extent. For this reason, the authors attempt to improve a floodwater detection method with a simple algorithm for a better discrimination capacity to discern flood areas from turbid floodwater, mixed vegetation areas, snow, and clouds. The purpose of this study was to estimate a flood area based on the spatial distribution of a nationwide flood from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series images (8-day composites, MOD09A1, 500-m resolution) and a digital elevation model (DEM). The results showed the superiority of the developed method in providing instant, accurate flood mapping by using two algorithms, which modified land surface water index from MODIS image and eight-direction tracking algorithm based on DEM data.
