What is a Project?#
A project is a way to organize image layers and the damage assessments conducted on them. It is a collection of imagery files, labels, training checkpoints, and inference results in various formats.
For example, you can create a new project per disaster event.
Create a new Project#
Project creation requires the following information:
Name – any suitable name for the project.
Description – any additional information about the project.
Event Date – the date that the disaster occurred. This date is stored for informational purposes and does not affect any processing.
Affected Countries – from the dropdown, select the country (or multiple countries) that were affected by the disaster. This data is stored for informational purposes and does not affect any downstream processing.
Event Types – select one or more event types: General, Earthquake, Fire, or Flood. This field is required and defaults to General.
Primary Classes – these are the classes of labels that you will add to an image layer to help train the model.
The classes of labels that the model needs to be trained on are:
Background
Building
Damaged Building
Cloud
These classes are provided by default on the project creation form. You can keep the default colors or change them to suit your needs.
Edit a Project#
From the Projects page, you can update a project’s name, description, event date, and affected countries after creation. Event types and primary classes cannot be changed after the project is created, so review them carefully before creating the project.
Delete a Project#
You can delete a project using the ellipsis menu on the Projects page. Deleting a project will delete all associated artifacts such as image layers, labels, and training results.
