Unsupervised Rapid Flood Mapping Using Sentinel-1 GRD SAR Images.

We present a new methodology for rapid flood mapping exploiting Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data. In particular, we propose the usage of ground range detected (GRD) images, i.e., preprocessed products made available by the European Space Agency, which can be quickly treated for information extraction through simple and poorly demanding algorithms. The proposed framework is based on two pro...
