Doodler uses a concept called human-in-the-loop machine learning to interactively segment an image. Doodler uses "doodles", or a few marks of examples of each class present in the scene, and machine learning completes the scene.

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida as a Category 4 hurricane in September 2022 and impacted both the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts. In Flagler County, Florida, large waves caused by the storm (on top of storm surge and tides) caused damage to coastal structures, dunes to erode, and roads to be overwashed with sand.
