An object-based image processing technique is applied to detect inundated areas using Land sat images. An interoperable Web-based system was developed to conduct the analyses so that redundant steps in Land sat image processing can be effectively eliminated. A review process is used to discover and develop suitable algorithms to automatically detect inundated areas and immediately transfer the results to the Web-based interface. This is a significant improvement over currently available methods for inundation detection systems. The tool is expected to be a practical inundated area detection function and be applicable across wide-reaching areas.
