About

Composite cloudless images of the areas of interest have been provided along with daily CHIRPS preciicpation data from 1981 to 2023.

An imbalance dataset is provided to you with some events containing an event and some events do not contain a flood. Both sets of events contain randomly select 40-60 weeks prior and post flood date, to ensure the flood event date is not always the middle index.

For each location the CHIRPS precipitation data has been aggregated over a 5km radius.

Composite cloudless images of the areas of interest have been provided along with daily CHIRPS precipitation data from 1981 to 2023.

Data for 2 years, 730 days was collected. Somewhere in these 730 days per location/event ID there could be a flood. Due to the sparsity of identified floods we have created an imbalanced dataset where there are some "events" or "locations" that do not have a flood in any of the 730 days.

If there is a flood for that event it can happen on any ONE of those 730 days. We have done this to ensure that you do not always select the middle day as the flood day.

The unique IDs are structured as event_id_X_day, event_id is a unique event that can contain a flood or might not. The day is a linear time step. You can think of event_id_X_1 being the 01/01/2024 and event_id_X_2 being 02/01/2024 (dd/mm/yyyy). We have excluded the actual dates so you can not go onto GEE to determine the value and that your model can be applied to any 2-year time period.

For each location the CHIRPS precipitation data has been aggregated over a 5km radius.

Please note that some locations do not have a composite image as these flood events were before the start of Sentinel-2.

The composite image contains 6 bands; these bands are

  • Sentinel 2 B2 (Blue)
  • Sentinel 2 B3 (Green)
  • Sentinel 2 B4 (Red)
  • Sentinel 2 B8 (NIR)
  • Sentinel 2 B11 (SWIR)
  • slope (derived from NASA SRTM)

Is an example of what your submission file should look like. The order of the rows does not matter, but the names of the "ID" must be correct.
Test resembles Train.csv but without the target-related columns. This is the dataset on which you will apply your model to.
Train contains the target. This is the dataset that you will use to train your model.
Composite cloudless images of the areas of interest.
This is a starter notebook to help you make your first submission.
