Here deep convolutional neural network algorithms are successfully implemented to extract robust features of key visual contents in the images. A schema is designed based on the realistic needs of field teams examining buildings. A significant number of images collected from past earthquakes are used to train robust classifiers to automatically classify the images. The classifiers and associated schema are used to automatically generate individual reports about damaged buildings.
