INVESTIGATION AREA DETERMINATION DEVICE, INVESTIGATION AREA DETERMINATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18293407 titled 'INVESTIGATION AREA DETERMINATION DEVICE, INVESTIGATION AREA DETERMINATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a device that determines an investigation area for assessing the state of a disaster. It extracts a candidate area using sensor information, acquires ground surface information in that area, and then determines the investigation area based on the ground surface changes.
- Candidate area extraction means for identifying a potential investigation area using sensor data.
- Ground surface information acquisition means for analyzing ground surface changes in the candidate area.
- Investigation area determination means for finalizing the investigation area based on the ground surface changes.
Potential Applications: 1. Disaster response and recovery operations. 2. Environmental monitoring and assessment. 3. Urban planning and development projects.
Problems Solved: 1. Efficient and accurate determination of investigation areas in disaster situations. 2. Integration of sensor data and ground surface information for decision-making.
Benefits: 1. Improved disaster response strategies. 2. Enhanced understanding of ground surface changes. 3. Streamlined investigation processes.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by government agencies, environmental organizations, and urban planners to better assess disaster impacts, monitor environmental changes, and plan sustainable development projects.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this device improve disaster response efforts? 2. What types of disasters can this technology be applied to?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in sensor technology, ground surface analysis techniques, and disaster management strategies to enhance the capabilities of this investigation area determination device.
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to determine an appropriate investigation area, this investigation area determination device includes: a candidate area extraction means for extracting a candidate area for an investigation of the state of a disaster, by using sensor information that has been acquired by a sensor information acquisition device; a ground surface information acquisition means for acquiring a ground surface change in the candidate area, the ground surface change being the results of analysis using the results of measurement carried out by a ground surface measurement device; and an investigation area determination means for determining, by using the ground surface change, an area for the investigation of the state of a disaster in the candidate area.
