Current Situations and Problems in Application of Remote Sensing to Disaster Monitoring
Kaoru Takara
Remote sensing (RS), in a broad sense, is a technology of measuring properties of a phenomenon or an object by instruments installed on platforms such as satellite, aircraft, boat,
automobile, and observation tower that are situated at a distance and not in direct physical contact with the object of study. Commonly, remote sensing means manipulating electromagnetic radiation to observe the surface of land (earth) with sensor-instrumented satellites or aircrafts. By using remote sensing, the newest information of the land surface can be acquired. Especially, large area with massive change where field investigation is impossible or not available, remote sensing can be a good approach. After occurrence of the disaster, devastated area will be changed enormously. Thus, remote sensing can be used where human could not reach. Since wide-area disaster and
environmental problems on a world scale or continent scale attract more attention in terms of international or global cooperation, remote sensing is a powerful tool to face such problems. The objective of this report, is trying to research the state of remote sensing which is adopted to investigate and monitor disasters, and to clarify the problems in its application.
