Application of satellite and airborne remote sensing data for a Flood Risk Information Management System (FRIMS) for the Oder river region
Horst Weichelt1, Karl-Heinz Marek2
Abstract: Initiated by the former German Space Agency DARA during the flood event of the Oder River in July/August 1997, a datapool has been established containing satellite data taken from different sensor types (Landsat-TM, IRS-1C, ERS-1/2, RADARSAT), as well as airborne images and scanner data. New digital airborne sensors were applied to simultaneously obtain multispectral and stereophotogrammetric data with very high spatial resolution and accuracy. The paper presents the capabilities for deriving thematical information about the flood event from the airborne and spaceborne remote sensing data. Results of the data interpretation as well as a possible design of a future information management system are demonstrated. |
