Efforts to Observe Volcanic Activity Using Pi-SAR X3 Data

Abstract

In order to facilitate smooth and effective evacuation and rescue operations in the event of a volcanic disaster, NICT has been researching observation and analysis methods for volcanoes using Pi-SAR X3, which has advanced performance and functions. In this report, we present the results of our study on the advantages and disadvantages of volcano observation by Pi- SAR X3 using three images data obtained from observations of Mt. Fuji, Mt. Asama, and Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane. In addition, this report presents the results of our study on the observation and analysis methods necessary to use Pi-SAR X3 data for evacuation and rescue in volcanic disasters.
