1. Analysis objective
|
Sample some of the damage areas from the multiple debris flows that occurred simultaneously over a wide area.
|
2. Analysis procedure Analysis flow chart
|
1) Superimposed processing of disaster "before" and "after" data
2) Create synthesized image
3) Visually interpret image
|
3. Analysis results
|
We sampled the locations where ground cover conditions were changed by using two SPOT/PAN data observed before and after the debris flow disasters.
We were able to easily make visual interpretations using a composite image created by coloring the post-disaster data in red and the pre-disaster data in green, on which we superimposed newly-generated disaster areas in reddish-purple.

4. Results from using the analysis results
|
Creating drawings immediately after a disaster that show the locations of disaster areas stretching over large areas is extremely useful when drafting a disaster recovery measures plan.
Identifying the position of disaster areas in the mountains becomes easy by superimposing and displaying geographic information such as municipal districts, forest districts and river and stream channels.
Use by government administrators
