Mediaeval2019: Flood detection in time sequence satellite images

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

In this work, we present a flood detection technique from time series satellite images for the City-centered satellite sequences (CCSS) task in the MediaEval 2019 competition [1]. This work utilises a three channel feature indexing technique [13] along with a VGG16 pre-trained model for automatic detection of floods. We also compared our result with RGB images and a modified NDWI technique by Mishra et al, 2015 [15]. The result shows that the three channel feature indexing technique performed the best with VGG16 and is a promising approach to detect floods from time series satellite images.
