Abstract:After a destructive earthquake, quickly and accurately predicting the damage degree of buildings is of great importance to quickly and scientifically carry out earthquake emergency command and rescue force deployment. Existing building seismic damage prediction models yield imprecise evaluation results, struggle with data acquisition, and require a large amount of computing power; therefore, they are difficult to construct and lack universality. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Fisher discriminant method for seismic damage of buildings based on preliminary judgment from remote sensing. First, four seismic damage factors, including magnitude,epicentral distance, site condition, and seismic resistance of the building, were selected as the discriminant factors. Then, based on the discriminant analysis theory, the Fisher discriminant model of building damage was constructed. Finally, the method proposed in this paper was verified by taking the LuxianM 6.0 earthquake as an example. The experimental results show that the prediction results of the proposed method closely align with the actual earthquake damage, with an accuracy rate of 80%, which proves that this method is highly accurate, reliable, and can accurately predict the earthquake damage degree of buildings.
