Abstract
⺠Flood extent was monitored from 2007 to 2010 for a lake in the Lower Amazon Floodplain. ⺠PALSAR ScanSAR, TM and MODIS images were combined using object-based image analysis. ⺠Final mapping accuracy was ~ 76% for land cover and ~ 90% for flood status. ⺠Logistic models predicted flooded area better than polynomial or simple regressions. ⺠The present method could be used to monitor flood extent for the entire Amazon.
