Quantitative Detection of Damage in an Earthquake from Low Resolution Satellite Images
نویسنده
چکیده
In the emergence situation after a large earthquake, fast evaluation of the damage is really necessary for rescue team and recovery plan, even if it is quite rough. Remote sensing image provides a new information source for rapid estimation of earthquake damage. In the recent years, achievements on identifying seriously damaged area by remote sensing are reported, some of them are from high resolution images. A case study is presented in this paper, to see if a quantitative estimation of isoseismals can be drawn out from low resolution satellite images.

Comparison of Earthquake Damage Evaluation using Change Detection and Thematic Classification
Because of the availability of high-resolution satellite imagery, remote sensing data has become an attractive source of data for identifying post-earthquake damage. Recently, several semiautomated methods for earthquake damage detection have been developed. These methodologies fall into two general categories: change detection and thematic classification. In change detection, both preand post-...
متن کاملDetermining the extent of building destruction after an earthquake using satellite imagery and fuzzy logic (Case study of Sarpol-e-Zahab region)
Background and objective: Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters. Earthquakes occur in urban areas, destroying buildings and injuring people living in them. Urban center buildings are among the features that are exposed to many hazards during an earthquake. One of the first measures taken after an earthquake is relief. Locating damaged buildings can speed up relief efforts....
متن کاملDamage detection in earthquake disasters using high-resolution satellite images
This paper highlights the usefulness and accuracy of high-resolution satellite images in damage detection after the occurrence of natural disasters. A strong earthquake struck the city of Bam in the southeast Iran on 26 December, 2003 and it brought massive destruction to the city and its surrounding rural areas. IKONOS and QuickBird (QB), high-resolution optical satellites, captured clear imag...
متن کاملA multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Technology for Earthquake Damage Detection
Remotely sensed imagery data from satellites and airborne platforms have become important tools to assess vulnerability of urban areas and to grasp damage distribution due to natural disasters. The platform and sensors of remote sensing should be selected considering the area to cover, urgency, weather and time conditions, and resolution of images. Satellites with optical and/or SAR sensors can...
