Measurement techniques by aerial images are effective for the acquisition of spatial information. Aerial images are used for quick disaster recovery and prevention of secondary disasters in the time of a nature disaster. Although automatic change detection is suitable for overviewing wide areas broadly, an actual damage survey eventually needs human interpretation of images. Web photogrammetry has been developed as a stereo view and measurement environment on a Web browser. This system can be used anywhere with no special knowledge or training in photogrammetry. This paper describes rapid mapping of disaster information by web photogrammetry. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
