Point Cloud Data Fusion for Enhancing 2D Urban Flood Modelling

By Vorawit Meesuk

This research explores the benefits of merging side-view Structure-from-Motion data with conventional top-view LiDAR data to create a novel multi-source views (MSV) topographic description of complex urban topographies. Using this new MSV approach, two case studies were carried out for the 2003 flood event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the 2011 flood event in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Adopting the MSV data as the basis for describing the urban topography, the numerical simulations provide a more realistic representation of complex urban flood dynamics and revealing specific features like flood watermarks identification and helping to develop improved flood-protection measures.
