Urban Flood Observations (UFO): A hand-labeled training and validation dataset of post-flood inundation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.23066v1 Announce Type: new Urban flooding affects lives and infrastructure worldwide. Mapping inundation in complex urban environments from satellite imagery remains challenging due to limited spatial resolution, infrequent acquisitions, and cloud cover. We present Urban Flood Observations (UFO), a global, hand-labeled dataset of post-flood inundation in diverse urban settings. UFO comprises 215 image chips (1024 by 1024 pixels) from 14 flood events between 2017 and 2021, derived from 3m PlanetScope imagery.
