“…Remote Sensing (RS) imageries, especially those coming from satellites, have larger coverage and better spatial and temporal consistency than many other data resources, such as crowd-sourced data (Ali & Ogie, 2017;Li et al, 2022b) or other instrumentation efforts (Muste et al, 2017). In the research domain of flood inundation mapping, RS imagery has been widely used for cross-validating with hydrologic modeling (Kim et al, 2022;Thakur et al, 2020) and serves as an independent data source for water extent extraction (Gao et al, 2018;Sai et al, 2020;Li and Demir, 2023a). Additionally, RS imagery and its products have been widely adopted as image, map, and validation resources for other data-driven models, such as in machine learning and deep learning applications (Avand et al, 2021;Costache et al, 2019; for synthetic image generation (Gautam et al, 2022) and data augmentation (Sit et al, 2023).…”
