Abstract
Road blockage information extraction from a single-phase postdisaster image is difficult because roads are narrow and easily covered by vegetation. The traditional object-oriented image analysis method is restrictive, and its detection is slow. A deep learning algorithm, i.e., the convolution neural network (CNN), is applied to rapidly extract road blockage information. An algorithm for sample generation is designed to construct a typical sample library for CNN training, and an appropriate CNN structure and a complete detection process are designed to extract road blockage information. Finally, by taking the Jiuzhaigou earthquake on August 8, 2017, as an example, experimental verification is carried out. The kappa coefficient and the F1 score of the results are 77.60% and 87.95%, respectively. The extraction of road blockages can be completed with an efficiency of 14.59 km2 per hour. The requirements for disaster emergency monitoring can be met by the accuracy and efficiency of this method, which are better than those of the traditional object-oriented method.
