application of remote sensing data in disaster management 
activities. Some of the limitations of video data can be 
overcome by systematic data acquisition for detailed inventory 
videography (Ham, 1998), such as mission planning, integration 
with GPS etc. As threshold values used in this research are not 
identical for all video data, there is a need for further research 
on a more generic methodology based on geometry and texture 
pattern of damaged areas. For registration of video imagery, 
there is a need for accurate ground control points, internal and 
external parameters of camera.
