N2 - With the aim of developing a model for estimating building damage from high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data at X-band, which is appropriate for Haiti, we propose a regression discriminant function based on damage interpretation dataset in Port-au-Prince, which was seriously affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The function can discriminate damage ranks corresponding to the severe damage ratio of buildings using TerraSAR-X imagery of the disaster area before and after the earthquake. By calculating the difference in and correlation of backscattering coefficient, which were explanatory variables of the regression discriminant function, a normalized likelihood function for the severe damage ratio was developed based on discriminant scores of the regression discriminant function.
