The impact of spatial resolution and satellite data type characteristics on Automated Damage Assessment using a Convolutional Neural Network

Satellite data, such as optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery, can provide information about the location and level of destruction caused by natural hazards. This information is essential to optimise the rescue mission logistics by humanitarian aid organisations and save people in need. Currently, many Automatic Damage Assessment (ADA)...

Data-efficient resolution transfer with Continuous Kernel Convolutional Neural Networks

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) benefit from fine-grained details in high-resolution images, but these images are not always easily available as data collection can be expensive or time-consuming. Transfer learning pre-trains models on data from a related domain before fine-tuning on the main domain, and is a common strategy to deal with...
