Two-phase deep learning pipeline (building localization + damage classification) on the xBD benchmark. JointDamageNet achieves F1=0.8136 with a single model, surpassing the xView2 Challenge 42-model ensemble winner (F1=0.8112) and achieving the highest localization F1 (0.8752) of all compared methods. Benchmarked 7 geospatial foundation models; fine-tuned DeepLabV3+ with a ResNet-50 backbone to Dice 0.877 / IoU 0.781, outperforming Satlas and DINOv2.
