Southeastern Mexico, particularly Tabasco's flatlands which experienced a severe flood in 2007, was used as a case study for testing a methodology for the estimation of direct damage looses on agricultural crops by flooding. We proposed an accurate delineation of agricultural lands of multispectral images (SPOT-5) which consist on ensemble classifiers trough a majority voting, that combine spatial and spectral information. Finally in order to evaluate the impact of floodwater, a radar data (RADARSAT-1), were used for both, delineating the flood extent and estimating water depth. These layers were overlaid on the agricultural crop classification layer, and crop yield damage was estimated using a depth damage function. The results of this research quantified and evaluated the overall economic loss (tangible damage) from the impact of floodwater on agricultural crops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
