Description
Summary:Disaster management and detection from satellite imagery and different sources are crucial yet challenging tasks. In this work, we introduce SECA-Net, a compact deep learning architecture designed to enhance disaster image classification. Employing a cascade attention mechanism, SECA-Net refines feature maps to improve accuracy significantly, achieving a validation accuracy of 93.45% on a diverse dataset covering four disaster categories, surpassing traditional models. Despite its lightweight size of 24 MB, SECA-Net is robust and generalizable across various environments, making it ideal for use in resource-constrained settings typical of disaster-affected areas. This model offers a promising solution for effective disaster response, combining efficiency, accuracy, and practical applicability in challenging real-world scenarios.
