    This document presents a new method called Texture-Wavelet analysis for automatically detecting tornado damage paths from aerial and satellite images by analyzing patterns in wind-borne debris deposits. The method has been shown to successfully identify tornado paths from images of three different tornado events - a 2006 tornado in Saroma, Japan from a high-resolution aerial image, a 1999 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma from a moderate-resolution satellite image, and a 2011 tornado in Tuscaloosa, US from a low-resolution satellite image.

    NOTE: Immediate tracking of the tornado damaged location from an eagles eye perspective provides immediate aid to the injured and also facilitates apposite maintenance to the damaged structures at a faster rate. Automatic tornado path detection from the wind borne debris deposits from the post-storm aerial as well as satellite images by using a newly introduced method called Texture-Wavelet analysis makes this task come true. A pattern is identified for the debris deposits in the images using this method and the paths are traced.

    The following images has sucessfully identified the tornado path

    1. Saroma cho tornado, Japan 2006 (10cm/pixel resolution Aerial Image) 2. Moore, Okalahoma, US tornado, 1999 (1m/pixel 300dpi resolution IKNOS satellite image) 3. Tuscaloosa, US tornado, 2011 (96dpi .jpg format very low resolution satellite image)
