Abstract

In order to assessment hazard degree of urban earthquake disaster, a method of updating building information in spatial database is proposed based on high-resolution satellite images. With available high-precision geographic data in spatial database, the building information is extracted from high-resolution satellite images by object-based approach, and then used to update spatial database. According to the story number and volume of building, a preliminary evaluation of hazard degree for urban earthquake disaster is implemented in an experimental region.
