Abstract
A system for performing global-scale damage detection using satellite imagery, comprising a damage detection server that receives and analyzes image data to identify objects within an image via a curated computational method, and a curation interface that enables a user to curate image information for use in object identification, and a method for a curated computational method for performing global scale damage detection.
Claims3
A system for global-scale damage detection using satellite imagery, comprising:
- a damage detection server comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device and configured to receive at least a plurality of image information from an image database, and configured to analyze at least a portion of the image information, and configured to produce at least a plurality of object vector representations based at least in part on at least a portion of the analysis results;
- and
- a curation interface comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a computing device and configured to receive at least a portion of a plurality of image information, and configured to receive interaction from a human user and to modify at least a portion of the plurality of image information based at least in part on at least a portion of the user interaction.
A method for global-scale damage detection using satellite imagery, comprising the steps of:
- querying, using a damage detection server comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device and configured to receive at least a plurality of image information from an image database, and configured to analyze at least a portion of the image information, and configured to produce at least a plurality of damage detection identifiers based at least in part on at least a portion of the analysis results, a database for a plurality of image information;
- extracting a plurality of scale-invariant transform descriptors based at least in part on at least a portion of the plurality of image information;
- performing k-means clustering on at least a portion of the plurality of image information;
- producing a plurality of locally-constrained linear codes based at least in part on at least a portion of the plurality of image information;
- and
- performing spatial pooling based at least in part on at least a portion of the plurality of locally-constrained linear codes to produce a plurality of object vector representations, the object vector representations corresponding to at least a plurality of objects identified within at least a portion of the plurality of image information.
