Abstract: In response to the urgent need for rapid and precise post-disaster damage evaluation, this study introduces the Visual Prompt Damage Evaluation (ViPDE) framework, a novel contrastive learning-based approach that leverages the embedded knowledge within the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and pairs of remote sensing images to enhance building damage assessment. In this framework, we propose a learnable cascaded Visual Prompt Generator (VPG) that provides semantic visual prompts, guiding SAM to effectively analyze pre- and post-disaster image pairs and construct a nuanced representation of the affected areas at different stages. By keeping the foundation model's parameters frozen, ViPDE significantly enhances training efficiency compared with traditional full-model fine-tuning methods. This parameter-efficient approach reduces computational costs and accelerates deployment in emergency scenarios. Moreover, our model demonstrates robustness across diverse disaster types and geographic locations. Beyond mere binary assessments, our model distinguishes damage levels with a finer granularity, categorizing them on a scale from 1 (no damage) to 4 (destroyed). Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of ViPDE, showcasing its superior performance over existing methods. Comparative evaluations demonstrate that ViPDE achieves an F1 score of 0.7014. This foundation model-based approach sets a new benchmark in disaster management. It also pioneers a new practical architectural paradigm for foundation model-based contrastive learning focused on specific objects of interest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
