WP20900 on Damage assessment and rapid mapping

• Integration aspects

2
Objectives for integration

• General objectives
• Assess research currently underway with partners
  and elsewhere in assessing damage specifically in
  urban areas and for critical infrastructure such
  as traffic lines or power lines
• Develop a road map for future co-ordinated
  research to bring together a variety of disparate
  techniques for rapid mapping and damage
  assessment.
• Initiate, and stimulate, and carry out research
  for new concepts and techniques for rapid mapping
  and damage assessment.
• Integrating activities
• Two workpackage workshops in 2005
• Assessment of user requirements needs
• Joint workshop with technical generic technology
  workpackges (WP20100, WP20300) and
  socio-political analysis workpackages (WP21200).
• Dissemination of results in a joint paper
• Composition of a roadmap for future research on
  and appropriate use of relevant technologies and
  methodologies for damage assessment.
• Sharing of data for test sites.

Progress on integration within workpackage
Post-crisis damage assessment Natural disasters
Post-crisis damage assessment Security
Pre-crisis risk assessment (of damages) Natural
disasters Joanneum Probability assessment of
damage risk in elevated areas (mass movement,
avalanches, flood plane, road rail
track). Security Link to socio-political WPs
(TNO WP21300, WP21100)

Progress on integration with other workpackages

• Participation in several cross WP workshops
• GMOSS meeting Towards Consolidated Security and
  Stability, February 2005, Goldegg
• GMOSS Tsunami workshop (WP20900), 11/12 April
  2005, The Hague. Participants from several work
  packages (WP20100,20200,20300,21200,20700)
• GMOSS participation in Generic tools workshop,
  29-30 August 2005, Copenhagen
• WP21300 inaugural meeting together with WP21100,
  September 22 2005, London,.
• Telecon with WP20900/WP21200, 29 September, on
  Relevant crisis patterns. How GMOSS elements (in
  this case WP20900) contribute to response to
  crisis (WP21200).
• Integration workshop November 15 joint activity
  with technology and socio-politcal workpackages.

5
Future objectives for integration (short term)

• Further specifying of requirements in relation
  with WP21xxx, especially WP21200
• Assessing and using output from technology WP
  (feature lists, change detection catelogue)
• Continuing liaison with other application work
  packages
• Execution of intra WP roadmap for research on
  fast extraction procedures and algorithms wrt
• 1) Damage assessment (urban areas, buildings)
• 2) Rapid mapping of damaged infrastructure.
• Testcases
• Sumatra (tsunami), BAM, Baghdad, Grozny, North
  Korea, Gaza strip
• Method (distribution over partners is still
  tentative)
• Overview (quick and rough)
• Landsat (DLR)
• Radarsat (TNO)
• ERS coherent change detection (CEA, Joanneum)
• Detailed analysis
• HR optical (DLR, CEA)
• HR radar (TNO)
• 3D stereo (Qinetiq, Joanneum)

6
Future objectives for integration (long term)

• Specify the requirements
• Matching the capabilities of partners
• Providing an infrastructure for EU

• Damage assessment (urban areas, buildings)
• Rapid mapping of damaged infrastructure.
