Taking Shaanxi Province as an example, this paper explored firstly the network-based working mode of seismic damage information extraction and data management strategy for multi-user cooperative operation based on analysing work flow of the RS application to earthquake emergency. Then, using WorldWind java SDK, the RS application system for earthquake emergency based on digital earth platform was brought out in CS architecture. Finally, spatial data tables of classification and grade of seismic damage were designed and the system was developed. This system realized functions including 3D display, management of seismic RS image and GIS data obtained before and after earthquake for different user levels and cooperative extraction and publish of such seismic information as building damage, traffic damage and seismo-geological disasters caused by earthquake in real time. Some application to earthquake cases such as 2014 Ms6.5 Ludian earthquake show that this system can improve the efficiency of seismic damage information interpretation and data sharing, and provide import disaster information for decision making of earthquake emergency rescue and disaster relief.Read More
