The overall proposed image segmentations were able to detect the flooded areas. The selection of color model being the most important step in this segmentation. Since the land area of FSM was created in green color, there are a need to prove using river images to demonstrate the ability of UAV imagery and image segmentation process as a platform for flood detection and accurately extraction of inundated areas. Thus, with consistent flying altitude, it certainly helps DID to recognize flood areas during rainy season and forecast future mapping process.

summary Flood is a disaster that regularly occurs almost yearly. In Malaysia, Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) monitored this phenomenon based on few techniques; include the visual surveillances which are from closed-circuit television (CCTV) web camera and Synthetic Aperture Radars satellites (SAR). Yet, CCTV web camera is only covers in specific areas and requires more installation in residential areas. This continuous monitoring sometimes provides unclear information. Meanwhile, for satellites imagery DID admit with high operation cost and time route not at the peak flooding, it is difficult for the agency to obtain real-time information.
