Abstract

Very High Resolution (VHR) remote sensing optical imagery is a huge source of information that can be utilized for earthquake damage detection and assessment. Time critical task such as performing the damage assessment, providing immediate delivery of relief assistance require immediate response; however, processing voluminous VHR imagery using highly accurate, but computationally expensive deep learning algorithms demands the High Performance Computing (HPC) power.To maximize the accuracy, deep convolution neural network (CNN) model is designed especially for the earthquake damage detection using remote sensing data and implemented using high performance GPU without compromising with the execution time. Geoeye1 VHR disaster images of the Haiti earthquake occurred in year 2010 is used for analysis. Proposed model provides good accuracy for damage detection; also significant execution speed is observed on GPU K80 High Performance Computing (HPC) platform.
