DamageScope: Vision-Language Retrieval at Scale for Disaster Damage Assessment from Satellite Imagery

DamageScope is a retrieval-augmented framework that combines satellite imagery with Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate property damage analysis and introduces a novel multi-vector embedding-based clustering algorithm that outperforms traditional single-vector embedding approaches while reducing indexing time by up to 14x.
