BlessemFlood21

The BlessemFlood21 dataset was created by the Fraunhofer Institute for Image Processing and other institutions, focusing on high‑resolution RGB images of non‑coastal flood scenes. It contains 4,623 images, each 512×512 pixels, captured by a drone after the 2021 Erftstadt‑Blessem flood event. Detailed water masks were generated using semi‑supervised human‑in‑the‑loop techniques, primarily for training and testing deep‑learning models to support flood detection and emergency response.

Dataset Overview

Dataset Title

BlessemFlood21: Advancing Flood Analysis with a High‑Resolution Georeferenced Dataset for Humanitarian Aid Support

Dataset Description

The BlessemFlood21 dataset aims to promote research on flood detection tools. It comprises high‑resolution, georeferenced RGB‑NIR images captured during the 2021 Erftstadt‑Blessem flood event, supplemented with detailed water masks obtained via semi‑supervised human‑in‑the‑loop techniques. The dataset is used to evaluate deep‑learning models for semantic segmentation, providing high‑resolution RGB data and a benchmark for RGB‑based flood detection algorithms.
