THE VALIDATION ACTIVITIES OF THE APHORISM EC 7FP PROJECT, AIMED AT POST SEISMIC DAMAGE MAPPING, THROUGH A COMBINED USE OF EOS AND GROUND DATA

摘要

The estimate of damage after an earthquake using spaceborne remote sensing data is one of the main application of the change detection methodologies widely discussed in literature. APhoRISM - Advanced PRocedures for volcanIc and Seismic Monitoring is a collaborative European Commission project (FP7-SPACE- 2013-1) addressing the development of innovative methods, using space and ground sensors to support the management and mitigation of the seismic and the volcanic risk. In this paper a novel approach aimed at damage assessment based on the use of a priori information derived by different sources in a preparedness phase is described and a preliminary validation is shown.
