We’ve partnered with Microsoft and humanitarian aid organizations to support a rapid disaster response and building damage assessment to cover the impact of Hurricane Beryl on Grenada. More info below:
Our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Beryl, the earliest recorded Category 5 Atlantic Basin hurricane. Microsoft is working with Planet and humanitarian organizations to provide a preliminary analysis of the damage sustained by affected communities. We have run our damage assessment AI models on the satellite images we received from Planet and have maps of the affected buildings. If your organization would benefit from the underlying data in this report—please contact me. We are committed to sharing this information in support of the response efforts. It’s important to note that there is uncertainty in building footprints, and that building labeling efforts are ongoing by humanitarian organizations. Because of these differences, we trained a change detection model which looks at both the pre- and post-event imagery and assumed that all change was caused by the hurricane. The output of this model is in the red overlay on the visualizer. We then intersected the change layer with two building footprint layers: 1) an incomplete set of OpenStreetMap building footprints; and 2) a building footprint layer we generated based on just the pre-event imagery. We have used both OpenStreetMap and our own building segmentation model to estimate damage, with a range of damage between the two models. We were able to view 1937 buildings in the study area of the island of Carricou. Out of these, we estimate that at least 888 buildings were damaged: 777 buildings (40.11%) with damage fraction between 80 and 100% 102 buildings (5.27%) with damage fraction between 60% and 80% 75 buildings (3.87%) with damage fraction between 40% and 60% 70 buildings (3.61%) with damage fraction between 20% and 40% 913 buildings (47.13%) with damage fraction between 0% and 20% Our AI model bases its assessments on satellite imagery, which, while powerful, covers only a portion of the affected area and has limitations. The data and accompanying maps should serve as a preliminary guide and require on-the-ground verification for a thorough evaluation. The AI for Good Lab is committed to aiding recovery efforts and sharing valuable information that can accelerate the restoration of impacted communities. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with other organizations to help those in need. https://lnkd.in/gHEJaH4r Team: Caleb Robinson, Anthony Ortiz, Andrew Hassanali, Andrew Zolli, Amy Michaels, Kevin White , Santiago Salcido

We know from experience that working with GIS data and having space on your computer aren’t the most compatible. So we made this demo to teach Planet Insights Platform users how to customize and stream Planet imagery directly into your software without ever having to download a single image. Check it out and explore our catalog of other short demos to help you power up your workflows: https://lnkd.in/g3ch3hW7
