    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for evaluating post-earthquake damage of building groups based on interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). Method includes: determining an investigation region, acquiring pre- and post-earthquake radar images of a corresponding district, and acquiring radar datasets included in radar images; acquiring a radar line-of-sight (LOS)-direction deformation map of investigation region by processing pre- and post-earthquake radar images using D-InSAR; acquiring a deformation in a main earthquake direction by decomposing an LOS-direction deformation; drawing a deformation classification map of buildings; acquiring pre- and post-earthquake optical remote sensing images of investigation region, and locating post-earthquake collapsed buildings; locating collapsed buildings in deformation classification map, comparing optical remote sensing images with deformation classification map, and locating exact positions of collapsed buildings; and evaluating post-earthquake damage of the buildings by evaluating post-earthquake damage conditions based on position information of collapsed buildings and the deformation classification map.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an embracing crawling robot for detecting an underwater pier of a highway bridge and a detection method therefor. The robot includes a main body, underwater lighting systems, tool compartments, depth metering modules, servo driving wheels, inclination measurement modules, underwater manipulator arms, vision array modules, synchronized stretching and fixing systems, and driven wheels. The robot is capable of crawling around an underwater pier of a highway bridge and operating stably in an underwater environment. After cleaning surface attachments on the underwater pier, the robot performs visual detection of a disease; and after determining type and location information of the disease, the robot will transmit disease information back. The robot is capable of crawling around the underwater pier of the highway bridge stably at any depths, perceiving depth and visual information under high-speed and turbid water conditions, thereby realizing detection of the disease on the underwater pier.
