Summary In crisis control , it is very important to investigate distribution and status of disasters early after the large earthquake or rainfall. And because SAR image will not be affected by weather or time, it is very efficient in use. On the other hand, interpretation of SAR image needs experienced engineer and time.
In this study, we examine various analytical techniques to shorten time and improving accuracy, to investigate disaster distribution and status by using SAR image.
