- Abstract
As the globe undergoes extreme climate changes, disaster events and their disaster scale continue to increase; therefore, it has become imperative to devise disaster prevention measures. Traditional flood monitoring devices, while operating in harsh environments, are often influenced by changes in weather conditions such light, rain, and fog. Consequently, recorded images are often blurred or damaged, which increases the possibility of errors in judgment or delays in the hazard mitigation process. In this study, an automated identification method for flood monitoring based on real-time video images is proposed. The method can be used by the Water Conservancy Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs automated for automated identification of flooded areas and for automated determination of the water levels of the main rivers from image data. This paper presents results to show that the capability to detect temporal changes in image sequences is crucial for an automated image-based flood alarm system used in disaster-monitoring applications.
