Summary

Vision techniques are presently developed, within any GIS environment, to detect and control any type of structural and infrastructural damage caused by natural catastrophic events. This paper reports on the implementation of a software tool able to identify the border of any structure that could be damaged by a negative event. The potential of an Open-Source tool called Magic Wand, to quickly select buildings and artefacts in disaster areas is investigated. The pixels of satellite images are the input the tool required. Some examples are presented in order to provide the main features of the proposed function.
