The paper introduces quantitative earthquake damage estimation method based on remote sensing data. The quantitative remote sensing seismic damage index based on building damage extracted from the aerial image of Dujiangyan city proper, southwest China's Sichuan province, which acquired after 2008 Ms=8.0 Wenchuan earthquake. The actual seismic damage indices were determined by the ground-based investigation in the city proper. Then their quantitative relationship was established. The results indicate that it is possible to build quantitative model of remote sensing seismic damage, which will enhance significantly the practicality applying the remote sensing in emergency acquisition and analysis of seismic disaster.
