Abstract

Building damage assessment plays an essential role during post-disaster rescue operations. Given that labeled samples are difficult to timely obtain after a disaster, transfer learning attracts increasing attention. However, different sensors employed cause considerable discrepancies not only between historical and current scenes but also among historical scenes, which could exert an effect on transfer performance. Therefore, a multi-source adversarial domain adaptation (MADA) method is proposed in this paper to fulfill the task of post-disaster building assessment. This method consists of two phases. First, imageries of several historical scenes are transformed into the same style of the current scene through the CycleGAN model with a classifier, ensuring class invariance, to be fused to make an adapted source domain. Second, feature alignment between adapted source and target domains is executed based on adversarial discriminative domain adaptation. The MADA method enhances the transformed image quality, fully utilizes relevant information in historical scenes, solves inter-scene interference problems among historical images, and improves the transfer efficiency from historical to the current disaster scene. Two experiments are conducted with Hurricane Sandy, Irma, and Maria datasets as multi-source and target domains to validate MADA’s effectiveness. Results show that the classification performance is better than other methods.
