用卫星图自动识别灾害损毁程度,提升救援响应效率。
Satellite to Street : Disaster Impact Estimator

- 双输入U-Net融合灾前灾后图像,捕捉细微结构变化
- 加权损失函数提升对少数损坏类别的识别准确率
- 可区分轻度至完全破坏,适合应急决策参考
灾后损伤精准评估对优先级响应至关重要,但现有方法严重依赖人工解读卫星影像,效率低且主观性强。尽管深度学习在语义分割和变化检测方面有所进展,但仍难以捕捉细微结构差异,且在受损样本极少的不平衡数据上表现不佳。本文提出Satellite-to-Street:灾情影响评估框架,基于改进的双输入U-Net架构,联合分析灾前与灾后卫星图像,生成像素级损毁地图。通过强化跨图像特征融合,模型可检测局部微小变化及整体场景模式。采用类别感知加权损失函数缓解类别不平衡问题,提升对严重损毁建筑的识别能力。统一预处理流程确保图像配准、分辨率一致并适配训练需求。在公开灾情数据集上的实验表明,该框架在损伤区域分类上优于传统分割网络。生成的地图提供快速、客观的灾情分析手段,支持专家判断而非替代。系统不仅能定位损毁区域,还能区分从轻微到完全摧毁的多个破坏等级,实现更细致、实用的灾情评估。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate assessment of post-disaster damage is essential for prioritizing emergency response, yet current practices rely heavily on manual interpretation of satellite imagery.This approach is time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale during large-area disasters. Although recent deep-learning models for semantic segmentation and change detection have improved automation, many of them still struggle to capture subtle structural variations and often perform poorly when dealing with highly imbalanced datasets, where undamaged buildings dominate. This thesis introduces Satellite-to-Street:Disaster Impact Estimator, a deep-learning framework that produces detailed, pixel-level damage maps by analyzing pre and post-disaster satellite images together. The model is built on a modified dual-input U-Net architecture that strengthens feature fusion between both images, allowing it to detect not only small, localized changes but also broader contextual patterns across the scene. To address the imbalance between damage categories, a class-aware weighted loss function is used, which helps the model better recognize major and destroyed structures. A consistent preprocessing pipeline is employed to align image pairs, standardize resolutions, and prepare the dataset for training. Experiments conducted on publicly available disaster datasets show that the proposed framework achieves better classification of damaged regions compared to conventional segmentation networks.The generated damage maps provide faster and objective method for analyzing disaster impact, working alongside expert judgment rather than replacing it. In addition to identifying which areas are damaged, the system is capable of distinguishing different levels of severity, ranging from slight impact to complete destruction. This provides a more detailed and practical understanding of how the disaster has affected each region.
