Determination of Hydrography Elements Using Image Interpretation and Processing Techniques

Determining the geometric elements required for the probabilistic calculation of flood bands for watercourses within a hydrographical basin can be achieved by extracting information from remote sensing digital recordings. Given the increasing frequency of extreme hydrological phenomena, the use of data obtained through aerial remote sensing offers the advantage of rapidly determining the geometric characteristics needed to generate profiles for the probabilistic calculation of flood bands for all watercourses within a hydrographical basin.
