Abstract

In this study, the extent of the flooded areas by the Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines were extracted using ASTER VNIR images taken over Tacloban city in the Visayas. In order to constraint the affected area, we employed the normalize difference vegetation and water indices (NDVI and NDWI) from the pre- and post-event images. The extension of the flooded area was determined by comparing the index characteristics before and after the event. A phase-based change detection methoindicesd was applied to classify the affected area into three classes according to the changes between the pre- and post-images. Through NDWI the flooded areas were detected despite the moderate resolution of ASTER images. In addition, the phase-based analysis successfully detected level of change within the affected area that may be correlated to the damage observed on field surveys. The results from the phase-based analysis were verified with damage levels obtained through visual damage inspection using high resolution satellite images.
