VQA-Aid: Visual Question Answering for Post-Disaster Damage Assessment and Analysis (2106.10548v1)
Published 19 Jun 2021 in cs.CV
Abstract: Visual Question Answering system integrated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has a lot of potentials to advance the post-disaster damage assessment purpose. Providing assistance to affected areas is highly dependent on real-time data assessment and analysis. Scope of the Visual Question Answering is to understand the scene and provide query related answer which certainly faster the recovery process after any disaster. In this work, we address the importance of \textit{visual question answering (VQA)} task for post-disaster damage assessment by presenting our recently developed VQA dataset called \textit{HurMic-VQA} collected during hurricane Michael, and comparing the performances of baseline VQA models.
