Description
Summary:The study of natural disasters is a crucial field that involves analyzing the occurrence, impact, and aftermath of various natural hazards that can cause significant harm to communities and the environment. Efficient waste management and environmental protection require proper classification of waste. Analyzing natural disasters and categorizing waste can be a time-consuming task, and conventional methods often struggle with it. However, a new approach called Visual Geometry Group with Federated Learning (VGG-FL) has been introduced to address these challenges. This methodology uses the golden search optimization (GSO) algorithm for feature selection and leverages VGG with federated learning for feature extraction and classification. To test the effectiveness of this method, a disaster image dataset was used to train the VGG-FL model. The results showed that the VGG-FL model attained exceptional accuracy in discerning and categorizing various disaster scenarios. The waste classification dataset simultaneously trains the VGG-FL model to categorize waste based on its characteristics and potential hazards. To measure the model’s performance, several evaluation metrics such as accuracy, specificity, precision, F1-score, and recall are utilized to assess the effectiveness of the proposed VGG-FL method. These results are then compared with existing methodologies. The VGG-FL method performs exceptionally well, achieving 98.52% accuracy, 97.48% precision, 97.83% recall, 97.58% F1-score, and 97.12% specificity. These experimental findings demonstrate the efficacy of the VGG-FL method in analyzing natural disasters and classifying waste materials.
