Bangladesh, among the most densely populated countries globally, faces a critical issue with the structural safety of buildings in its capital city, Dhaka. Shockingly, approximately 90% of the buildings in Dhaka are deemed highly risky and susceptible to collapse during natural disasters like earthquakes. To address this pressing concern, our team aims to develop a solution utilizing deep learning technology to identify risky buildings within Dhaka city using satellite imagery.
The primary goal of this project is to leverage the power of the YOLOv5 object detection model to analyze satellite images of Dhaka. By employing deep learning techniques, we aim to pinpoint and classify buildings that are at high risk of collapse during natural hazards. The ultimate objective is to provide valuable insights to local authorities, enabling them to identify high-risk areas promptly and take necessary measures to ensure public safety.
- Utilization of YOLOv5 model for object detection and classification
- Collection and preprocessing of satellite images of Dhaka city
- Training the model to recognize and categorize risky buildings
- Validation and testing of the model's accuracy and reliability
- Generating actionable insights and risk assessment reports based on the model's predictions
We welcome contributions from the community to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of our model. Whether through refining the training dataset, improving the model architecture, or suggesting innovative approaches, your contributions are valuable in our quest to make Dhaka city safer.
- Integration of real-time satellite data for continuous monitoring
- Collaboration with local authorities for effective implementation
- Expansion to other cities or regions facing similar structural safety challenges
- Enhancing model robustness for varied environmental conditions
Feel free to reach out, open issues, or submit pull requests to support this initiative. Together, we can leverage technology to mitigate the risks posed by structurally vulnerable buildings in Dhaka, ensuring a safer environment for all residents.
