Fast Registration of Remotely Sensed Images for Earthquake Damage Estimation

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing volume 2006, Article number: 076462 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

Analysis of the multispectral remotely sensed images of the areas destroyed by an earthquake is proved to be a helpful tool for destruction assessments. The performance of such methods is highly dependant on the preprocess that registers the two shots before and after an event. In this paper, we propose a new fast and reliable change detection method for remotely sensed images and analyze its performance. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
