11 Contents Disaster risk management in Switzerland Products Platforms and sensors Advantages/Disadvantages Conclusion

12 Disaster Mapping Products must be: fast available fast delivered less accurate (i.e. direct georeferencing, existing DTM) restrained on important informations self-explanatory (graphically) understandable previously familiar to decision makers

13 Disaster Mapping Products are: Non-georeferenced imagery Maps Orthophotos DTM Analysis or combinations of the above

14 Non-georeferenced imagery

15 Non-georeferenced imagery

16 Maps

17 Orthophotos direct georeferencing existing DTM no radiometric correction

30 Contents Disaster risk management in Switzerland Products Platforms and sensors Advantages/Disadvantages Conclusion

31 Platforms and Sensors as components of a sensor system Light source interpretation optics datatransfer platform sensor

32 Platforms Space based (200km km) Airbased (up to 20km) Groundbased (terrestrial)

33 Active and passive sensors

34 Dimensions of resolution Spatial Resolution smallest unit-area measured Radiometric Resolution smallest differences in energy that can be measured Spectral Resolution part of the EM spectrum measured Temporal Resolution pre- and post-disaster imagery

35 Major difference between platforms Covered surface (geometric) Resolution Economic (pioneering and operational costs)

36 Development of geometric resolution of VHR satellites 36

46 What about UAV/RPAS?

47 Advantages / Disadvantages Large areas, of the shelf, robust Not flexible, time to generate imagery, interpretation of data, depending on wheather condition at time of orbit pass Fast and flexible, robust, large & small aeras, imaging under clouds Depeding on VFR flight conditions Fast an flexible, inexpensive commercial solutions Only small areas, depeding on VFR flight conditions, access to disaster area, not robust, productivity

48 Conclusions Image based information is essential for Situation report in response phase Disaster documentation in post-disaster phase Information in response phase be be fast and reliable (not necessarily high accuracy / resolution) Sensors must be able to deliver required information in short time Platform must be robust and operational to support sensor task Platforms are no dogma find the suitable and sustainable solution for your country
