Investigation of remote sensing for dike inspection

---

This thesis investigates the use of optical remote sensing as proxies for the inspection of grass covered dikes. The proof of concept showed that significant relationship exist between various ground bases optical remote sensing data and the two indicators. These were refined for use with airbone and space borne sensors and suggestions for operational implementation for dike inspection are given.
Dike (also called levees or flood embanments) are common water defence structures that provide protection against inundation and flooding. Dikes are found all over the world, with thousand of kilometres of dikes protecting millions of people. Their fuction is becoming increasinggly important due to the expected comsequences of subsidence (e.g. from increased loading on compressible soils) and of climate change (e.g. sea level rise, more extreme weather events(. It is essenstial that dikes be inspected regularly to ensure they remain reliable and functioning. Dike inspection are typically done by visual examination of dike components, idealy on foot. In view of the large number of dikes that need to be inspected, dike inspection is clearly a slow, costly, manhour intensive process. Remote sensing has been proposed as a tool that could facilitate faster dike inspection by screening large areas in a relatively short space of time using objective measurements. Over the last decade, remote sensing studies for dike inspection indicators of deformation, slides and seepage. There are, however, other indicators that inspectos consider, such as cover quality and soil moisture.
