Severe geo-physical or climatic events, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, droughts, floods, cyclones and fire that threaten people or property, are termed natural hazards.
Remote sensing — the science of acquiring information about the Earth using remote instruments, is inherently useful for disaster management.When a disaster strikes, Remote sensing is often the only way to view what is happening on the ground.
At present, earthquakes are hard to predict. But Remote sensing could improve forecasts using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). This technique combines two or more sequential radar images to measure ground motion between them very accurately — on the scale of a few centimetres (or even millimetres). InSAR instruments, such as PALSAR, are already routinely used after earthquakes to assess damage and the extent of ground movement and deformation.
Aerial photogrammetry is generally low altitude flight, which is easy to operate in airspace and will not be affected by extreme weather. At the same time, it is not limited to the needs of take-off and landing sites. It only needs to select a relatively flat site for take-off and landin...
As we all know, aerial photogrammetry technology is playing an increasingly important role in urban planning and construction. Moreover, compared with the traditional topographic survey technology, aerial photogrammetry technology has the advantages of small volume, light weight, ra...
After the LiDAR data is obtained, the data can be post-processed only after data preprocessing. After the data preprocessing, there is a data checking software to conduct a preliminary check on the data results. The general data format check has the follo
