Assessment of Seismic Building Vulnerability from Space [PDF]

Earthquake Spectra, 2014
This paper quantitatively evaluates the suitability of multi-sensor remote sensing to assess the seismic vulnerability of buildings for the example city of Padang, Indonesia. Features are derived from remote sensing data to characterize the urban environment and are subsequently combined with in situ observations.
