SMAGNet: A Novel Deep Learning Approach for Post-Flood Water Extent Mapping
Analysis
This paper introduces a promising solution for a critical problem in disaster management by effectively fusing SAR and MSI data. The use of a spatially masked adaptive gated network (SMAGNet) addresses the challenge of incomplete multispectral data, potentially improving the accuracy and timeliness of flood mapping. Further research should focus on the model's generalizability to different geographic regions and flood types.
