Image | Flood | Preparedness

Disaster Image Retrieval form Social Media (DIRSM) and Flood Detection in Satellite Images (FDSI) are datasets for flood detection. DIRSM contains 6,600 Flickr images and FDSI's development set contains 462 image patches. They are both introduced for binary classification.

  • ML task type: Binary classification
  • Data Source: Social Media (Flickr); Earth Observation Data and GeoSpatial Imagery (Satellite)
  • Size: DIRSM: 6,600 Flickr Images
  • Timespan: DIRSM: 2004 - 2014; FDSI: 2016 - 2017
  • Geographical Coverage: DIRSM: Global; FDSI: Global
  • Baseline Information
  • Evaluated on: unreported
  • Metrics used: Average Precision at k with various cutoffs (DIRSM),Intersection over Union (FDSI)
  • Results as reported in original paper: unreported
