About
This dataset focuses on flood area segmentation, providing a valuable resource for developing models capable of accurately identifying water regions in flood-affected areas. It comprises images of flood-hit scenes paired with corresponding mask images that precisely delineate the water. The dataset was created to enable the development of segmentation models, which are crucial tools for effective flood surveys, improved decision-making, and strategic planning in disaster management. Given the dataset's size of 290 images, users may find it beneficial to employ pre-trained models and data augmentation techniques to enhance model performance.
Columns
The dataset is structured with a metadata CSV file that maps images to their corresponding masks, alongside dedicated folders for the image and mask files.
- Image: This column in
metadata.csv
lists the name of each flood image. There are 290 unique image names, all of which are valid. - Mask: This column in
metadata.csv
lists the name of each segmentation mask image. Like the image column, it contains 290 unique mask names, all valid and correctly linked. The dataset also includes anImage
folder containing all the flood images and aMask
folder containing all the mask images, with masks self-annotated using Label Studio.
Distribution
The dataset consists of 290 flood images and 290 corresponding self-annotated mask images. The images and masks are organised into separate folders,
Image
and Mask
, respectively. A metadata.csv
file, approximately 5.3 kB in size, links each image name to its mask name. The dataset is static and is not expected to receive future updates.Usage
This dataset is ideal for training and validating image segmentation models. Potential applications include:
- Developing AI models to automatically segment water regions in flood imagery.
- Conducting detailed flood surveys to assess affected areas and damage.
- Informing better decision-making and planning for flood response and mitigation efforts.
- Research and development in computer vision for environmental monitoring.
- Educational purposes, demonstrating practical applications of image segmentation.
Coverage
The dataset consists of 290 images and self-annotated masks capturing flood-hit areas. The scope is general to flood areas, without specific geographic or temporal constraints mentioned. The data focuses on visual representation of flooded regions.
