ITEPC 03 - Image Processing for Tsunamis (Faculty supervisor: Prof.
ROSSITER, David) |
||
On
the left is an image of a coastal area. On the right is the image after
it has been processed. It shows the areas of ground that will have the
most impact if an easterly moving tsunami hits it. |
||
|
||
In this image, areas which are not affected by the tsunami are shown as black. Areas where a large difference has been caused by the tsunami are shown as other colours. This kind of image would be very useful for aid agencies who can immediately have a good idea of the areas where the greatest damage has occurred, and send aid accordingly. |
||
Language of instruction: English |
||
|
||
Deliverables: A simple report or web page which lists the techniques which can be used to help provide information about tsunamis and their impact, with example images. |
||
Things students will learn: How images are represented on a computer How images can be processed to extract information How to use image processing software similar to Photoshop |
