日本开发卫星系统,利用前后图像快速评估地震损害。 Japan develops satellite system to quickly assess earthquake damage using before-and-after imagery.

日本航天局、日本宇宙航空研究开发机构以及熊本县正在制定一项利用卫星图像估计地震损害的方案。 Japan's space agency, JAXA, and Kumamoto Prefecture are developing a program to estimate earthquake damage using satellite imagery. 该系统预计将在几年后投入运行,对震前和震后图像进行比较,以便在2-3小时内评估建筑物损坏情况,并在夜间和恶劣天气中工作。 The system, expected to be operational in a few years, compares pre- and post-quake images to assess building damage within 2-3 hours and works at night and in bad weather. 它将利用2016年熊本地震的数据来提高准确性,并旨在协助救灾工作。 It will use data from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake to improve accuracy and aims to assist in disaster response.
