Floods are one of the major natural hazards in terms of affected people and economic damages. The increasing and often uncontrolled urban sprawl together with climate change effects will make future floods more frequent and impacting. An accurate flood mapping is of paramount importance in order to update hazard and risk maps and to plan prevention measures. In this paper, we propose the use of a supervised machine learning approach for flood delineation from satellite data. We train and evaluate the proposed algorithm using Sentinel-1 acquisition and certified flood delineation maps produced by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service across different geographical regions in Europe, achieving increased performances against previously proposed supervised machine learning approaches for flood mapping.

Abstract
Floods are one of the major natural hazards in terms of affected people and economic damages. The increasing and often uncontrolled urban sprawl together with climate change effects will make future floods more frequent and impacting. An accurate flood mapping is of paramount importance in order to update hazard and risk maps and to plan prevention measures. In this paper, we propose the use of a supervised machine learning approach for flood delineation from satellite data. We train and evaluate the proposed algorithm using Sentinel-1 acquisition and certified flood delineation maps produced by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service across different geographical regions in Europe, achieving increased performances against previously proposed supervised machine learning approaches for flood mapping.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
