description Due to the frequent and sudden occurrence of urban waterlogging, targeted and rapid risk monitoring is extremely important for urban management. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of urban waterlogging monitoring, a real-time determination method of urban waterlogging based on computer vision technology was proposed in this study. First, city images were collected and then identified using the ResNet algorithm to determine whether a waterlogging risk existed in the images. Subsequently, the recognition accuracy was improved by image augmentation and the introduction of an attention mechanism (SE-ResNet). The experimental results showed that the waterlogging recognition rate reached 99.50%. In addition, according to the actual water accumulation process, real-time images of the waterlogging area were obtained, and a threshold method using the inverse weight of the time interval (T-IWT) was proposed to determine the times of the waterlogging occurrences from the continuous images. The results showed that the time error of the waterlogging identification was within 30 s. This study provides an effective method for identifying urban waterlogging risks in real-time.
