Mapping Earthquake Damage in Vhr Radar Images of Human Settlements: Preliminary Results on the 6 April 2009, Italy Case
نویسنده
چکیده
Automated earthquake damage assessment from post-event only remotely sensed data is highly desirable, especially when new generation, Very High Resolution (VHR) spaceborne data is concerned, lacking extensive pre-event archives. Though, most damage assessment method either rely on human interpretation or on pre-post-event comparison. In this paper we illustrate some possible tracks for investigating damage assessment on post-event only data, focusing on the 6 April 2009 Abruzzi, Italy earthquake and on related COSMO/SkyMed acquisitions.

Estimation of Earthquake Damage Through Radar Interferometry (Case study: Bam 2003 Earthquake)
The estimate of the damage caused by the earthquake and other natural disasters in the first days after the occurrence of these events can provide a quick damages assessment and help to manage the crisis. Several methods are available to investigate the extent of earthquake’s damage. Optical remote sensing, photogrammetric methods (UAVs and LIDARs), radar interferometry (InSAR) and field observ...

The L’Aquila earthquake of magnitude 5.8 occurred on April 6, 2009 in the central Abruzzo region of Italy, causing widespread damage. More than 300 people lost their lives and property worth more than 2,500 million dollars was damaged. We analyze the high-resolution Synthetic Radar Aperture (SAR) imageries from TerraSAR-X along with high-resolution QuickBird optical images for the building dama...

The Sichuan Earthquake on the 12th of May 2008, and the extensive rescue operations following this tragic event, proved the value of high-resolution optical and radar remote sensing during the emergency response. Optical data provide a fast and simple way to value “at glance” damages while radar sensors can deliver images independent of weather conditions, day and night, and thus in principle c...
