    Identification of Damaged areas Due to the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake Using Satellite Optical Images


    Extraction of Damage Distribution Using LANDSAT Images
    We tried to extract the earthquake damage distribution from the DN changes using the LANDSAT images, because the LANDSAT images were characteristics of spectral patterns before and after the earthquake.

    Damage distribution was extracted by discriminant analysis using the DN after the earthquake and the difference in DN before and after the earthquake as the representative variables. The minimum distance classification method was used as the discriminant analysis. The discriminant table is shown in table 6. the liquefied or burned area was had a comparatively high coincidence ratio. The distribution of the heavy damage area (black part in Fig. 4) was in relatively good agreement with that of the actual damage survey result (Fig. 5), but the coincidence ratio of the building damage area was not very high.

    Conclusions
    We examined the spectral characteristics in area damaged by the 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu Earthquake, using LANDSAT/TM and SPOT/HRV images. The digital numbers of the liquefied area were high in the range of visible to infrared bands, whereas those of the burned area became low in the visible light range. The heavy damaged area shown a trend similar to the liquefied area. The extracted damaged distribution using the minimum distance classification agreed with damage survey results.
