In this paper, seismic vulnerability assessment is addressed under the umbrella of remote sensing. A study for estimating and evaluating information for assessing seismic vulnerability based on a building basis is presented. The proposed methodology utilizes the capabilities of remote sensing and combines in-situ data tested in the area of Grenoble (France). A map is estimated in agreement with in-situ data, as support information system for seismic risk in the context of building vulnerability assessment. In the methodology proposed, building attributes such as roof identification, building height and characteristic scale are extracted from very high resolution panchromatic data, and an accurate digital elevation model. Support vector machine regression is used to estimate building vulnerability and in-situ data are available for evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
