Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to present works based on data GIS processing such as spatial analysis, geostatistical, and modeling or metamodeling, as well as geoinformation algorithms or interactive representation architectures, all focused on seismic-Induced Hazards (or Risk) assessing or their governance and management. The studies can involve and be applied to different study areas, both theoretical/demonstrative and case studies.

Therefore, GIS-based models, processes or procedures able to produce maps that combine morphometric and subsoil data using canonical or simplified (empirical or stochastic) models and multimodel combinations are welcome, taking into account the soil and rock features, as well as their dynamic behavior. The phenomena should be seismic shaking and its effects on the anthropized environment, earthquake-induced landslides, liquefaction, and densification, as well as tsunami invasion areas.

The recognition of postearthquake scenes plays an important role in postearthquake rescue and reconstruction. To overcome the over-reliance on expert visual interpretation and the poor recognition performance of traditional machine learning in postearthquake scene recognition, this paper proposes a postearthquake multiple scene recognition (PEMSR) model based on the classical deep learning Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) method. In this paper, a labeled postearthquake scenes dataset is constructed by segmenting acquired remote sensing images, which are classified into six categories: landslide, houses, ruins, trees, clogged and ponding. Due to the insufficiency and imbalance of the original dataset, transfer learning and a data augmentation and balancing strategy are utilized in the PEMSR model. To evaluate the PEMSR model, the evaluation metrics of precision, recall and F1 score are used in the experiment. Multiple experimental test results demonstrate that the PEMSR model shows a stronger performance in postearthquake scene recognition. The PEMSR model improves the detection accuracy of each scene compared with SSD by transfer learning and data augmentation strategy. In addition, the average detection time of the PEMSR model only needs 0.4565s, which is far less than the 8.3472s of the traditional Histogram of Oriented Gradient + Support Vector Machine (HOG+SVM) method.
