Research on Quick Monitoring and Evaluating of Flood Disaster in Poyang Lake Area Based on Remote Sensing

Abstract:

Flood disaster happens frequently in Poyang Lake area, which causes a huge economic loss each year. In order to prevent and reduce the loss caused by flood disaster, and to promote the economic development in Poyang Lake area, the author has researched methods of quick monitoring and evaluating of flood disaster based on RS and GIS. Firstly, the author discusses the technical means of monitoring and assessment of flood disaster, which includes remote monitoring technology and GIS technology. Secondly, taking Poyang Lake area for example, the author introduces the methods and processes of remote sensing monitoring of flood disaster. Finally, various data of damage has been computed rapidly to achieve the purpose of rapid assessment of the loss by using the function of spatial analysis of GIS and withdrawing flooded areas from the remote sensing monitoring image combined with background data.
