Abstract
A system and method to generate flood inundation maps in near real time. The system includes a plurality of computer processing modules: a flood trigger system, a SAR data query system, and a RAPID kernel algorithm system, running in real time, to identify the potential flood zones, query SAR data, and finally compute the inundation maps, respectively. As disclosed herein, the RAPID kernel algorithm is extended to a fully automated flood mapping system that requires no human interference from the initial flood events discovery to the final flood map production.
