Recent flood events have demonstrated a demand for satellite-based inundation mapping in
near real-time (NRT). Simulating and forecasting flood extent is essential for risk mitigation …

Dynamic monitoring of floods is important for water resource management and disaster
prevention. Obtaining multitemporal surface water distribution maps using remote sensing …

Emergency response to floods requires timely information on water extents, which can be
produced by satellite-based remote sensing. As the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can emit …

Data-driven models for water body extraction have experienced accelerated growth in
recent years, thanks to advances in processing techniques and computational resources, as …

Accurate flood mapping at global scales can support disaster relief and recovery efforts.
Improving flood relief with more accurate data is of great importance due to expected …

Identification of flood water extent from satellite images has historically relied on either
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) or multi-spectral (MS) imagery. MS sensors are limited to …

Flood inundation maps provide valuable information towards flood risk preparedness,
management, communication, response, and mitigation at the time of disaster, and can be …

Abstract Real-time, near-real-time, and accurate flood extent information is critical for
emergency response during disaster events such as floods. Accurate extents are critical for …

Satellite remote sensing plays an important role in the monitoring of surface water for
historical analysis and near real-time applications. Due to its cloud penetrating capability …

Precise monitoring of floods is significant in disaster management and loss reduction;
