In order to mitigate the loss of life and resources caused by recurrent major and minor flood events, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive spatial flood zonation map of the entire area. Therefore, the main aim of the present study is to prepare a flood susceptible map of the southwest coastal region of India using synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data and robust machine learning algorithms. Accurate flood and non-flood locations have been identified from the multi-temporal Sentinel-1 images. These flood locations are correlated with sixteen flood conditioning geo-environmental variables. The Boruta algorithm has been applied to determine the importance of each flood conditioning parameter. Six efficient machine learning models, namely support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), partial least squares (PLS) and penalized discriminant analysis (PDA) have been applied to delineate the flood susceptible areas of the study region. The performance of the models has been evaluated using several statistical criteria, including area under curve (AUC), overall accuracy, specificity, sensitivity and kappa index. The results have revealed that all models have performed more than 90% of AUC due to the high precision of radar data. However, the RF and SVM models have outperformed other models in terms of all statistical parameters. The findings have identified approximately 13% of the study region as highly vulnerable to flood hazards, emphasizing the need for proper planning and management in these areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33804,"journal":{"name":"Applied Computing and Geosciences","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100189"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590197424000363/pdfft?md5=c335020c63eb9eda70216e7662e23b2d&pid=1-s2.0-S2590197424000363-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142161206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geological formations, characterized by diverse forms, sizes, textures, and colors, present a complex landscape for traditional image processing techniques. Drawing inspiration from recent advancements in image segmentation, particularly in medical imaging and object recognition, this research proposed a comprehensive methodology tailored to the specific requirements of geological image datasets. To establish the dataset, a minimum of 50 images per rock type was deemed essential, with the majority captured at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and during a field expedition to La Isla de La Palma, Spain. This dual-source approach ensures diversity in geological formations, enriching the dataset with a comprehensive range of visual characteristics. The study involves the identification of 19 distinct rock types, each documented with 50 samples, resulting in a comprehensive database containing 950 images. The methodology involves two crucial phases: initial preprocessing of the dataset, focusing on formatting and optimization, and subsequent application of deep learning models—ResNets, Inception V3, DenseNets, MobileNets V3, and EfficientNet V2 large. Preparing the dataset is crucial for improving both the quality and relevance, thereby to ensure the optimal performance of deep learning models, the dataset was preprocessed. Following this, transfer learning or more specifically fine-tuning is applied in the subsequent phase with ResNets, Inception V3, DenseNets, MobileNets V3, and EfficientNet V2 large, leveraging pre-trained models to enhance classification task performance. After fine-tuning eight deep learning models with optimal hyperparameters, including ResNet101, ResNet152, Inception-v3, DenseNet169, DenseNet201, MobileNet-v3-small, MobileNet-v3-large, and EfficientNet-v2-large, comprehensive evaluation revealed exceptional performance metrics.

Our workflow generates high-frequency acoustic impedance synthetics by utilizing a deep neural network (DNN) at the reservoir level vis-a-vis validating the results with existing geological facies. Simultaneously, we introduce continuous wavelet transform (CWT); wherein the three components (real, imaginary, and magnitude) are interrelated to obtain a resultant high-frequency seismic volume. A strong agreement is established at available wells to achieve a higher resolution seismic by injecting higher frequencies, which is then populated throughout the 3D cube. An excellent correlation is met with key seismic attributes extracted across the field for original and CWT-based synthetic seismic. The augmented seismic volume with enhanced frequency range substantiates the dominant frequency (F_d) and resolves thin beds, which is also validated with the help of wedge modeling of both acquired and high-frequency datasets.
