==FLOODING PREDICTION DEVICE, FLOODING PREDICTION SYSTEM, AND FLOODING PREDICTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275564 titled 'FLOODING PREDICTION DEVICE, FLOODING PREDICTION SYSTEM, AND FLOODING PREDICTION METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure describes a flooding prediction device that accurately predicts the occurrence of flooding in a river by using laser light technology to measure and analyze the water surface.

* Processor acquires measurement data based on irradiation and reflection of laser light onto the water surface.
* Generates a three-dimensional model of the measurement target region.
* Analyzes water surface state information to predict flooding of the river.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various fields such as:
* Flood monitoring and early warning systems.
* Environmental monitoring and management.
* Water resource management and planning.

== Problems Solved ==
The flooding prediction device addresses the following issues:
* Inaccurate or delayed flood predictions.
* Lack of real-time monitoring of water levels.
* Inefficient flood response and mitigation strategies.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved accuracy in predicting flooding events.
* Early detection and warning capabilities.
* Enhanced flood preparedness and response measures.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
This technology has potential commercial applications in:
* Government agencies responsible for disaster management.
* Environmental monitoring companies.
* Engineering firms involved in water infrastructure projects.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be remote sensing systems used for water level monitoring in rivers and lakes. These systems may use different techniques such as radar or sonar to measure water levels and analyze surface conditions.

== Unanswered Questions ==

==Original Abstract Submitted==

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a flooding prediction device, etc. that make it possible to accurately predict the occurrence of flooding of a river. A flooding prediction device comprises: at least one processor configured to acquire measurement data indicating the result of measurement based on irradiation laser light emitted and radiated onto a measurement target region including the water surface part of a river, and reflection laser light reflected by the region and received by the coherent light sensing device, generate three-dimensional point group model of the measurement target region by using the measurement data, generate, by using the measurement data and the three-dimensional point group model, water surface state information indicating the state of the water surface part in the measurement target region, and predict the occurrence of flooding of the river by using the water surface state information.
