Abstract:

Flood is one of the major disasters for the mankind. In Asia, riverine and flash flooding occurs frequently. Therefore, accurate and timely flood mapping is necessary for saving human lives and reducing economic costs. In this paper, the flood mapping for Pakistan and Kashmir regions is done jointly using Multi-Spectral Water Index (MuWI) and Machine Learning classifiers that includes Support Vector Machine (SVM), classification and Regression Trees (CART) and Random Forest (RF) with Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 images dataset in 2020. The overall average validation accuracy results before and after flood with MuWI based SVM, CART and RF are evaluated and compared in Google Earth Engine (GEE). Flood difference maps were also generated. Results show that the shadow areas are accurately identified with MuWI. Jointly taking MuWI and spectral bands obtained superb flood mapping performance. SVM outperforms the CART and RF using Sentinel-2 images. Using Landsat-8, both SVM and Random Forest proved equally effective in identifying the flood pixels from non-flood pixels as compared to CART. The information derived with the proposed methods may be important for disaster risk management and urban planning. © 2021 IEEE.
