Analysis of post-disaster damage detection using Aerial Footage from UWF campus after hurricane Sally
No full textIn this study, we investigate the feasibility of detecting post-disaster damages through camera images obtained onboard an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Aerial footage from the University of West Florida (UWF) campus after being hit by hurricane Sally in 2020 is used in our study. Our goal is to automatically locate and identify all the roof damages caused by Sally on the university campus using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based object detection approach. We utilize a TensorFlow Object Detection API model retrained on images hand annotated by our team to demonstrate the damage detection capabilities of CNN. The aim of this study is to propose a framework towards UAV-based post-disaster damage detection and localization to aid the effort of damage recovery after hurricanes.Conference PresentationPublishe
Impact of therapeutic human touch on older adults
No full textThe importance of this topic is to hope for better patient outcomes in the geriatric population. Human touch may be an effective way to provide comfort and care, with a deeper purpose/goal to older patients who may be struggling with mental health conditions. Older individuals that are struggling through illness or mental distress are in desperate need of human touch and how it is crucial it is in the role of caregiving (Pedrazza, 2018).
