Abstract The project aims to detect and predict flooding using images and thus automate the process of flood identification without human intervention. Such an approach only uses cameras without the need for the river height sensor that remains submerged in the urban streams. River height sensors are usually susceptible to failure as they are continually in contact with river water. In addition, Civil Defense bodies often require flooded river images and therefore we believe that the use of image processing for flood detection is timely as one single sensor (i.e. a camera) is needed to detect floods and provide images to Civil Defense bodies.
