用随机森林生成标签,让深度学习在缺数据时也能高精度测洪水范围。
High Resolution Flood Extent Detection Using Deep Learning with Random Forest Derived Training Labels
- 用随机森林从专家标注中生成训练标签,解决灾后标签缺失问题。
- 融合地形特征的U-Net模型达到F1=0.92、IoU=0.85,与纯影像模型相当。
- 适合缺乏实地数据的突发洪水场景,可快速部署于应急响应。
洪水模型验证因极端事件中观测数据有限而面临挑战。高分辨率光学影像(约3米,如PlanetScope)为洪水制图带来新机遇,但受云层遮挡和灾时缺乏标注数据限制。本文提出一种融合PlanetScope影像与地形特征的洪水制图框架,利用随机森林模型对专家标注的洪水掩码进行训练标签生成,并用于训练双通道(4波段)和六波段(含高度距最近排水线HAND与坡度)的残差网络U-Net模型。以2021年飓风伊达导致美国东部严重洪涝(包括纽约大都会区)为例,评估结果表明:加入地形特征的模型性能与仅用影像的模型接近(两种配置均实现F1=0.92,IoU=0.85),说明地形信息对淹没范围检测贡献有限。该框架具备可扩展性与标签高效性,适用于数据稀缺的洪水建模场景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Validation of flood models, used to support risk mitigation strategies, remains challenging due to limited observations during extreme events. High-frequency, high-resolution optical imagery (~3 m), such as PlanetScope, offers new opportunities for flood mapping, although applications remain limited by cloud cover and the lack of labeled training data during disasters. To address this, we develop a flood mapping framework that integrates PlanetScope optical imagery with topographic features using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms. A Random Forest model was applied to expert-annotated flood masks to generate training labels for DL models, U-Net. Two U-Net models with ResNet18 backbone were trained using optical imagery only (4 bands) and optical imagery combined with Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) and topographic slope (6 bands). Hurricane Ida (September 2021), which caused catastrophic flooding across the eastern United States, including the New York City metropolitan area, was used as an example to evaluate the framework. Results demonstrate that the U-Net model with topographic features achieved very close performance to the optical-only configuration (F1=0.92 and IoU=0.85 by both modeling scenarios), indicating that HAND and slope provide only marginal value to inundation extent detection. The proposed framework offers a scalable and label-efficient approach for mapping inundation extent that enables modeling under data-scarce flood scenarios.
