Abstract

Automatic flood detection may be an important component for triggering damage control systems and minimizing the risk of social or economic impacts caused by flooding. Riverside images from regular cameras are a widely available resource that can be used for tackling this problem. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art neural networks, the most suitable approach for this type of computer vision task, are usually resource-consuming, which poses a challenge for deploying these models within low-capability Internet of Things (IoT) devices with unstable internet connections. In this work, we propose a deep neural network (DNN) architecture pruning algorithm capable of finding a pruned version of a given DNN within a user-specified memory footprint. Our results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can find a pruned DNN model with the specified memory footprint with little to no degradation of its segmentation performance. Finally, we show that our algorithm can be used in a memory-constraint wireless sensor network (WSN) employed to detect flooding events of urban rivers, and the resulting pruned models have competitive results compared with the original models.
