EARTHQUAKE BUILDING DAMAGE MAPPING BASED ON FEATURE ANALYZING METHOD FROM SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR DATA
Keywords: Building Damage Assessment, Earthquake Emergency, Feature Analysing, SAR
Abstract. Playing an important role in gathering information of social infrastructure damage, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing is a useful tool for monitoring earthquake disasters. With the wide application of this technique, a standard method, comparing post-seismic to pre-seismic data, become common. However, multi-temporal SAR processes, are not always achievable. To develop a post-seismic data only method for building damage detection, is of great importance. In this paper, the authors are now initiating experimental investigation to establish an object-based feature analysing classification method for building damage recognition.
