Earthquakes are among the most catastrophic natural disasters to affect mankind. One of the
critical problems after an earthquake is building damage assessment. The area, amount …

A prompt and overall understanding of building damages following a disaster is critical, as
they are closely related to casualties. As an important active remote sensing technology …

The building damage status is vital to plan rescue and reconstruction after a disaster and is
also hard to detect and judge its level. Most existing studies focus on binary classification …

Building height retrieval from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is of great importance
for urban applications, yet highly challenging due to the complexity of SAR data. This paper …

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) allows tracking the structural behavior in time and
support decisions regarding, for instance, the need for maintenance and repair activities …

Object retrieval and reconstruction from very-high-resolution (VHR) synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) images are of great importance for urban SAR applications, yet highly challenging …

A quick response to a large-scale natural disaster such as earthquake and tsunami is vital to
mitigate further loss. Remote sensing, especially the spaceborne sensors, provides the …

Building-damage mapping using remote sensing images plays a critical role in providing
quick and accurate information for the first responders after major earthquakes. In recent …

Building damage detection after earthquake would help to rapid relief and response of
disaster. In this study, an efficient method was proposed for building damage detection in …

Compared with optical sensors, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can provide important
damage information due to its ability to map areas affected by earthquakes independently …
