This study derives a method to estimate motion vectors of objects in image sequence and finally detect the debris locations by using a computer vision technique called an optical flow algorithm.
Reasonable agreement is observed between the simulated and the wind tunnel test debris landing locations, thus confirming the applicability of the probabilistic wind-borne debris model.
Two years after wood deposition, we surveyed individual pieces of LWD in one stream and surveyed debris dam locations in eight streams within the ice storm area.
On Thursday, the Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, told parliament in Canberra that satellite imagery had found two possible pieces of debris at a location 2,500km (1,500 miles) south-west of Perth.
The land morphology and topography changed greatly with such features as land upheaval, river blockades and lakes dammed by debris in many locations.
Mitigation measures were proposed to reduce the threat posed by debris flow occurrence to locations of high risk and to locations important for public safety (e.g. a firestation) with moderate risk.

The investigators can glean crucial information from the location of debris, but it will require interpretation and sophisticated analysis, experts said.
In October of 2006, an Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, hired a contractor to demolish their schoolhouse with a backhoe and remove the debris to an undisclosed location.
[C9.] Applying Space Technology on Earth Since the destruction of the space shuttle Columbia, searchers have fanned out across East Texas with global positioning devices to mark the precise location of debris.
