• Abstract: Timely disaster risk management requires accurate road maps and prompt damage assessment. Currently, this is done by volunteers manually marking satellite imagery of affected areas but this process is slow and often error-prone. Segmentation algorithms can be applied to satellite images to detect road networks. However, existing methods are unsuitable for disaster-struck areas as they make assumptions about the road network topology which may no longer be valid in these scenarios. Herein, we propose a CNN-based framework for identifying accessible roads in post-disaster imagery by detecting changes from pre-disaster imagery. Graph theory is combined with the CNN output for detecting semantic changes in road networks with OpenStreetMap data. Our results are validated with data of a tsunami-affected region in Palu, Indonesia acquired from DigitalGlobe.

  This paper addresses the problem of vehicle-mounted camera localization by matching a ground-level image with an overhead-view satellite map. The key idea is to formulate the task as pose estimation and solve it by neural-net based optimization. Experiments on standard autonomous vehicle localization datasets have confirmed the superiority of the proposed method.

  We propose a novel method that leverages the progression of satellite imagery over time to substantially improve accuracy. Our approach first compares satellite images captured at different times to identify portions of the physical road network that have visibly changed. We show that our change-based approach reduces map update error rates four-fold.

• Promoting Connectivity of Network-Like Structures by Enforcing Region Separation [101.10228007363673]
  We propose a connectivity-oriented loss function for training deep convolutional networks to reconstruct network-like structures. The main idea behind our loss is to express the connectivity of roads, or canals, in terms of disconnections that they create between background regions of the image. We show, in experiments on two standard road benchmarks and a new data set of irrigation canals, that convnets trained with our loss function recover road connectivity so well.
