Abstract
After the occurrence of a hurricane, assessing damage is extremely important for the emergency managers so that relief aid could be provided to afflicted people. One method of assessing the damage is to determine the damaged and the undamaged buildings post-hurricane. Normally, damage assessment is performed by conducting ground surveys, which are time-consuming and involve immense effort. In this paper, transfer learning techniques have been used for determining damaged and undamaged buildings in post-hurricane satellite images. Four different transfer learning techniques, which include VGG16, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3 and DenseNet121, have been applied to 23,000 Hurricane Harvey satellite images, which occurred in the Texas region. A comparative analysis of these models has been performed on the basis of the number of epochs and the optimizers used. The performance of the VGG16 pre-trained model was better than the other models and achieved an accuracy of 0.75, precision of 0.74, recall of 0.95 and F1-score of 0.83 when the Adam optimizer was used. When the comparison of the best performing models was performed in terms of various optimizers, VGG16 produced the best accuracy of 0.78 for the RMSprop optimizer.
