Disaster Prevention/Mitigation System Development

Creation of safe and sound societies that are protected from intensifying natural disasters by use of information and communication technologies (ICT)

Protecting Our Livelihood by Image Analysis

Design and development of various information systems for prevention/mitigation of water disasters by using image analyses taken from CCTV cameras/IoT cameras as well as robot cameras with AI. Development of image analysis-based systems which require fewer people with more automation.

Information Sharing through Visualization

Development of 3D models and monitoring systems for rivers, sand embankments and roads by use of still and moving images taken by drones (UAV: unmanned aerial vehicles). Development of systems for easy visualization of various simulation results.

Disaster Awareness through Virtualization

Creation of educational applications and materials for disaster prevention to help improve disaster prevention awareness of local communities using VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) technologies. Creation of CGs and moving images using game engines and web applications.
