World Multidisciplinary Earth Sciences Symposium, WMESS 2015 Automatic Detection of Damaged Buildings after Earthquake Hazard by Using Remote Sensing and Information Technologies

The effects of earthquake can be devastating, it may cause significant life losses and property damage especially in urban regions. Observation of damaged buildings is vital for emergency management professionals, helping them for directing the rescue teams in short time to right location. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Technologies (GIS) are an efficient tool for rapid monitoring of damaged buildings in urban regions following an earthquake. An approach was developed to determine automatic detection of damaged buildings through analysis of change with the aid of integrated RS and Information Technologies
