Description

For more than a decade, social media has emerged as a potential platform to generate and spread information about a natural disasters. Alternatively, a common way of conducting research into natural disasters is via remote sensing. However, remote sensing data comes with few challenges, such as, unavailability due to long revisit time of the sensors, and obstruction due to cloud cover. This research develops a novel machine learning algorithm for the fusion of Social media images and text with Remote sensing multispectral satellite images to detect flooding. The fusion method is further extended to generate flood maps for assessment.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
