What is it about?
Aerial imagery derived from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is an invaluable resource for impact assessment and disaster management after natural disasters. The current disaster assessment process is highly human-dependent, resource-intensive, and very slow. This research proposes a technique to reduce human intervention by using deep convolutional networks for semantic segmentation of aerial imagery, focusing on disaster-affected areas.
