Recap
• Georeferencing
• Geographic Coordinate System
• Projected Coordinate System
• GIS File Format
• Meta Data/Map Package
So, what
you are
looking at?
Let’s have a
closer look…
What we can
see…
Going
further…
What we can
see…
What we can
see…
Yeah…Pixels
Lot of pixels…
So, what is a pixel?
• Nothing but a grid.
• Which can be of any
size:
30m X 30m
15m X 15m
5m X 5m
0.5m X 0.5m
So, what is a pixel?
30m
• Nothing but a grid.
• Which can be of any size: 30m
30m X 30m
15m X 15m 30m x 30m
5m X 5m
0.5m X 0.5m
0.5m x 0.5m 15m x 15m
How an image is created?
How an image is created?
Bunch of pixels…
Are pixels enough
to show an image?
How information can be stored?
Bunch of values…

2 3 5 1
5 5 2 1
Values to Image! How image become alive!

• Whenever you see an image, there is a value behind
• Image is displayed based on that value….
• All calculation is run on that value….

Pixel Size Vs Image Resolution
• Nothing but a grid.
• Which can be of any size:
30m X 30m
15m X 15m • Also called image resolution.
5m X 5m • So, how pixel size affects
0.5m X 0.5m image resolution?
• Remember, one pixel can
Show single color/tone at a
time.
MULTI-HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT
Among these diverse schools of thought, a well-established and complete risk equation is crucial for better risk
evaluation. Therefore, based on a rigorous literature review, the following equation is selected for risk
calculation:
Risk = Hazard Exposure × Vulnerability
As per the equation, the cyclone hazard exposure map and flood hazard exposure map are integrated to
produce the multi-hazard exposure map. Furthermore, the multi-hazard exposure map is multiplied with the
vulnerability map to calculate the multi-hazard risk of the study area (Figure).
