29 Extraction of flooded areas The displacements caused by crustal movement were removed by shifting the post-event image. Flooded area was extraction by the difference (d) Result of TSX images 1.25 m/pixel 15 x 15 pixels window d = I b I a Result of PALSAR images 6.25 m/pixel 7 x 7 pixels window Run-up lines (PASCO) Extracted inundation 29

The different incident angles of PALSAR images were one reason for low accuracy. Most extracted flooded areas from TSX images were within the run-up boundaries. 30

31 Image data TerraSAR-X images

32 Method of damaged building extraction 32 Building shapes Range Building shapes (about 10 million) A GIS date of building outlines obtained from Zenrin was used to detect damaged buildings. The building heights were detected and the outlines were shifted to match with the image. 12 m

33 Results of building height detection 1F: 0-6 m 2F: 6-9 m 3F: 9-12 m 4F: 12 m- To save calculation time, the building heights were detected by 1m unit. It s result was transformed into story numbers. 33

34 Results of damaged building detection The SAR layover length was used to detect damaged buildings. If the average of (z1+z2)/2 within a building outline is larger than 0, than that building was damaged. Change factors 1: ー : ー Run-up lines (PASCO) Damaged Non-damage Result of damage classification 34

35 Verification of detected result The Building Damage Map made by visual interpretation from aerial photos was used to verify the accuracy. The reasons for errors Wrong outline after shifting Omission caused by debris The influences by flooded area Detected result Building Damage Map Washed Survived Total away U. A.

36 Major Outcomes Tsunami run-up boundary maps were produced from field survey and remote sensing data. Flooded areas and building damage in the target areas were accessed by field surveys and image interpretation. Crustal movements were estimated based on the shifts of buildings in high-resolution SAR intensity images. 36
