Flood Detection/Monitoring Using Adjustable Histogram Equalization Technique

Flood monitoring technique using adjustable histogram equalization is proposed. The techniqueovercomes the limitations (overenhancement, artifacts, and unnatural look) of existing technique byadjusting the contrast of images. The proposed technique takes pre- and postimages and applies differentprocessing steps for generating flood map without user interaction. The resultant flood maps can be usedfor flood monitoring and detection. Simulation results show that the proposed technique provides betteroutput quality compared to the state of the art existing technique.
