An integrated inundation model for highly developed urban areas.

Identification areas with inundation potential for urban runoff harvesting using the support vector machine model

     Rainfall-runoff from urban areas is one of the available water resources, which is wasted due to lack of attention and proper management. Besides, urban runoff excess of drains capacity causing many problems including inundation and urban environmental pollution. Therefore, harvesting this runoff can provide a part of the required water in urban areas, and also reduce flood and urban inund...

Urban Inundation Hazard Potential using Evidential Belief Function model (EBF) (Case study: Emam Ali town, Mashhad city)

    Inundation in urban areas due to dens storm has created many problems for all cities thorough the world. Urban flood hazard zoning may provide useful information for dealing with contingency and alleviating risk and loss of life and property. Therefore, to management of urban area, flood relief measures and prioritized to address flooding problems should be identified areas that are more aff...

Automatic road crack detection and classification using image processing techniques, machine learning and integrated models in urban areas: A novel image binarization technique

The quality of the road pavement has always been one of the major concerns for governments around the world. Cracks in the asphalt are one of the most common road tensions that generally threaten the safety of roads and highways. In recent years, automated inspection methods such as image and video processing have been considered due to the high cost and error of manual metho...

Developing an Integrated Conservation and Revitalization Model to Provide Criteria and Indicators to Assess the Integration of Measures in Historic Urban Areas

Assessing the Performance of a Northern Gulf of Mexico Tidal Model Using Satellite Imagery

Tidal harmonic analysis simulations along with simulations spanning four specific historical time periods in 2003 and 2004 were conducted to test the performance of a northern Gulf of Mexico tidal model. A recently developed method for detecting inundated areas based on integrated remotely sensed data (i.e., Radarsat-1, aerial imagery, LiDAR, Landsat 7 ETM+) was applied to assess the performanc...
