Flood Detection/Monitoring Using Adjustable Histogram Equalization Technique
Flood monitoring technique using adjustable histogram equalization is proposed. The technique overcomes the limitations (overenhancement, artifacts, and unnatural look) of existing technique by adjusting the contrast of images. The proposed technique takes pre- and postimages and applies different p...

| description | Flood monitoring technique using adjustable histogram equalization is proposed. The technique
overcomes the limitations (overenhancement, artifacts, and unnatural look) of existing technique by
adjusting the contrast of images. The proposed technique takes pre- and postimages and applies different
processing steps for generating flood map without user interaction. The resultant flood maps can be used
for flood monitoring and detection. Simulation results show that the proposed technique provides better
output quality compared to the state of the art existing technique. |
