Abstract

In developing Version 2.0 of our Flood Image Classifier, we underscore the significant role of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), mainly Faster R-CNN and YOLOv3, in detecting and segmenting flood-related labels in images. Additionally, our research delves into the potential of Vision Transformers (ViT) for advanced object detection and image classification for flood-related images extracted for the USGS river cameras. Transformer methods offer improved predictions of flood depth and inundation areas, marking a substantial step forward in flood vision technology. The integration of advanced image processing techniques, the enhancement of CNN capabilities, and the incorporation of cutting-edge detection and classification models are pivotal in developing a comprehensive, real-time flood monitoring system. This system is designed to equip frontline decision-makers and emergency responders with essential insights into flooding conditions, thereby significantly contributing to disaster management and response through the innovative use of our flood image classifier, Version 2.0.
