Abstract
We demonstrate a fully automatic flood detector for non-forested areas on an ERS SAR image of the 1994 flooding incident in Alessandria, Italy. The flood detector is capable of detecting the majority of the flooded area. However, there are some undetected flooded areas which exhibit high backscatter caused by double bouncing from flooded vegetation
