STURM-Flood

This repository hosts the STURM-Flood dataset, an open-access resource designed for flood extent mapping using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The dataset comprises 21,602 Sentinel-1 tiles and 2,675 Sentinel-2 tiles, each of size 128 × 128 pixels at a resolution of 10 meters, along with corresponding water masks covering 60 flood events globally. This curated dataset is optimized for deep learning applications and provides ground-truth data from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service to facilitate robust model development. We invite researchers and developers to utilize this resource for advancing flood mapping techniques in disaster management.
