We introduce a fully unsupervised framework that accurately estimates standing urban floodwater depth by coupling post-event aerial imagery with DTMs, completely eliminating the need for labeled training data. Extensive validation across twelve heterogeneous catchments demonstrated robust regional spatial generalization.
This code is a simple (not speed optimized) implementation of Floodwater Depth Estimation method proposed in [1].
