This paper describe the texture characteristics by using the energy characteristics ASM of GLCM, the ASM value of the complete building is bigger, but the ASM value of damage building is smallerJC.C,1990.When the i ASM value of the detection building is greater than or equal to the given maximum threshold i MaxASM , the membership degree iASM R ASM of the building damage is 0; when the i ASM value is less than or equal to the minimum threshold i MinASM , the membership degree iASM R ASM of the building damage is 1; when i MinASM i ASM i MaxASM , the membership of building damage is i iASM MaxASM - ASM R ASM= MaxASM - MinASM .

2.7 Access building damage

The characteristics of a damaged building are strongly dependent on many factors, such height change, area change and texture change. So only using a certain characteristics to determine the damage building is not accurate. According to the principles of evidence theory, this paper will give evidence to the various features of buildings damaged confidence in the probability distribution by the way of statistical experts, on the basis of evidence we build the theory model to assess whether buildings damaged or not through using various confidence coefficient. Building damaged confidence formula is as follows: 1 • n j j j Judge R P n ρ = = ∑ 4 Where R j is the membership degree of the evidence j, j ρ is the prediction setting confidence degree of the evidence j. n is the total number of evidence. Finally calculate the building damage of confidence Judge P . 3. Experiment and Result

3.1 Experiments overall description

In this experimental part, DataSet is the UAV imagery of the Beichuan in 2006simulated data and 2014real data.We apply the proposed building damage detection method of section 2 based on the 3D point cloudshown in Figure 2ab and mosaic imageshown in Figure 5ab generated from UAV imagery. First, Two DSMsshown in Figure 4ab with 1m grid resolution are generated from 3D point cloud of pre- and post-disaster. The difference image is generated by subtracting the pre-disaster DSM from post-disaster DSM. After Canny edge detecting and image two-values processing, the change suspect area image shown in Figure 4c is obtained. Second, building vector shown in Figure 3 is obtained by using the method of section 2.12. Third, the change suspect area image is projected to the mosaic UAV image, then building vector is overlaid with the mosaic image to obtain the building positionsee Figure 5ab in the change suspect area. Finally, the damage buildings are detected by using the method of section 2.5 and 2.6.
