AI-based flood event understanding and quantification using online media and satellite data

In this paper we study the problem of flood detection and quantification using online media and satellite data. We present a three approaches, two of them based on neural networks and a third one based on the combination of different bands of satellite images. This work aims to detect floods and also give relevant information about the flood situation such as the water level and the extension of the flooded regions, as specified in the three subtasks, for which of them we propose a specific solution.
