Abstract
In this paper we present a comparative analysis of two types of remote sensing satellite data by using the wavelet-based data mining techniques. The analyzed results reveal that the anomalous variations exist related to the earthquakes. The methods studied in this work include wavelet transformations and spatial/temporal continuity analysis of wavelet maxima. These methods have been used to analyze the singularities of seismic anomalies in remote sensing satellite data, which are associated with the two earthquakes of Wenchuan and Pure recently occurred in China.
