Abstract: (10 Views)
Background and Aims: Natural disasters and military attacks can cause widespread destruction to buildings, making rapid and accurate damage assessment crucial for reducing casualties and speeding up rescue operations0. This study aims to present a novel method for assessing building damage using deep learning and image processing techniques.
Methodology: This research introduces a new method based on an encoder-decoder architecture that combines the DeepLabV3+ model with a self-attention mechanism. The xBD dataset, which contains pre- and post-disaster images from various incidents, was used to train and evaluate the model.
Findings: The proposed model successfully classified buildings into four damage levels: "no damage," "minor damage," "major damage," and "destroyed". It achieved superior results compared to previous methods with an overall F1-Score of 0.94.
Conclusion and Innovation: The primary innovation of this research lies in the simultaneous use of DeepLabV3+ capabilities, the attention mechanism, and data augmentation techniques, which significantly improved detection accuracy. The method can be applied in natural disaster management as well as in passive defense and military scenarios to quickly assess damage from attacks.
