Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a system for segmenting road areas from aerial images using machine learning, assuming that fixed-wing UAVs are used to collect information in case of disasters. In the training phase, a deep learning network is trained using the training images to which preprocessing is applied. In the road segmentation phase, unknown images are inputted to the trained model so that road detection results are obtained. We created our own dataset from disaster images taken in Japan, and also created road-hidden images by overlaying disaster images (e.g. landslip) onto roads in non-disaster images. For the training, we used SegNet and DeepLab v3+ as the network structure and different loss functions for comparison. As a result, the highest accuracy was obtained by DeepLab v3+ and Dice Loss. In addition, as a result of applying the proposed method for the road-hidden images, promising results were obtained.
