The building damage status is vital to plan rescue and reconstruction after a disaster and is also hard to detect and judge its level. Most existing studies focus on binary classification, and the attention of the model is distracted. In this study, we proposed a Siamese neural network that can localize and classify damaged buildings at one time. The main parts of this network are a variety of attention U-Nets using different backbones. The attention mechanism enables the network to pay more attention to the effective features and channels, so as to reduce the impact of useless features. We train them using the xBD dataset, which is a large-scale dataset for the advancement of building damage assessment, and compare their result balanced F (F1) scores. The score demonstrates that the performance of SEresNeXt with an attention mechanism gives the best performance, with the F1 score reaching 0.787. To improve the accuracy, we fused the results and got the best overall F1 score of 0.792. To verify the transferability and robustness of the model, we selected the dataset on the Maxar Open Data Program of two recent disasters to investigate the performance. By visual comparison, the results show that our model is robust and transferable.

OPNET is a network simulation tool which can simulate various elements in a network. It is able to analyze traffics and even can simulate security events recently. System designers can identify vulnerabilities or find an efficient algorithm/protocol that could reduce costs if simulations are performed prior to actual implementation/construction of a large-scale system. Thus, this chapter includes the method of simulating a PLC-system, designing a PLC-based vertical fish farm and an expandable simulation test bed with which students or researchers will be able simulate their implementation methods. With these methods, it will be possible to perform large-scale simulations.
