However, models trained on a specific flood event or region often fail to generalize to new domains due to distributional shifts in environmental, geographical, and sensor characteristics. 10 | 11 | This research introduces a continual domain adaptation framework that combines: 12 | 13 | SAR-optical multimodal fusion for complementary spatial and temporal insights. 14 | 15 | Continual learning to adapt sequentially to new flood events without catastrophic forgetting. 16 | 17 | Test-time adaptation (TTA) to dynamically fine-tune the model on-the-fly using unlabeled target data. 18 | 19 | The system achieves state-of-the-art flood detection performance across heterogeneous datasets with minimal supervision. 20 | 21 | 🚀 Key Features 22 | 23 | 🛰️ SAR-Optical Fusion: Combines radar backscatter and optical reflectance to overcome cloud and illumination issues. 24 | 25 | 🔁 Continual Domain Adaptation: Learns across multiple events (e.g., floods in different regions or seasons) without retraining from scratch. 26 | 27 | 🧠 Test-Time Adaptation (TTA): Adapts model weights during inference using entropy minimization or self-supervised consistency losses. 28 | 29 | 🗺️ Unsupervised Cross-Domain Learning: Transfers knowledge between labeled and unlabeled domains seamlessly. 30 | 31 | 🌀 Catastrophic Forgetting Mitigation: Incorporates replay buffers and EWC-based regularization for stable continual learning. 32 | 33 | 🌍 Global Flood Generalization: Trained and evaluated on international flood datasets (e.g., SEN12-FLOOD, DFMS, and custom Copernicus data). 34 | 35 | 🧮 Methodology Overview 36 | Input: 37 | SAR Imagery + Optical Imagery (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2) 38 | ↓ 39 | Preprocessing: 40 | Radiometric calibration, Co-registration, Cloud masking, Data normalization 41 | ↓ 42 | Multimodal Encoder: 43 | Dual-stream CNN / Swin Transformer for SAR and Optical features 44 | ↓ 45 | Fusion Module: 46 | Attention-based cross-modality feature fusion 47 | ↓ 48 | Continual Domain Adaptation: 49 | Sequential adaptation across domains (Event1 → Event2 → Event3 ...) 50 | + Regularization to prevent forgetting 51 | ↓ 52 | Test-Time Adaptation: 53 | On-the-fly self-supervised fine-tuning using target data entropy minimization 54 | ↓ 55 | Output: 56 | Pixel-level Flood Probability Map 57 | 58 | ⚙️ Technical Highlights 59 | Module Description 60 | Fusion Encoder Dual-branch network integrating SAR and optical modalities via attention fusion. 61 | Continual Learner Adapts incrementally to new flood domains with Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC). 62 | Test-Time Adapter Minimizes prediction entropy or maximizes consistency on unlabeled target images. 63 | Domain Discriminator Aligns feature distributions using adversarial training. 64 | Replay Memory Stores representative samples from past domains for balanced learning. 65 | Evaluation Metrics Intersection-over-Union (IoU), F1-score, MCC, Calibration Error. 66 | 🔬 Research Highlights 67 | 68 | Introduces a Continual Domain Adaptation (CDA) framework tailored for flood mapping. 69 | 70 | Integrates SAR-optical fusion for robust mapping under diverse atmospheric conditions. 71 | 72 | Employs test-time adaptation to handle dynamic, unseen flood events without manual retraining. 73 | 74 | Demonstrates significant performance improvements on cross-region flood detection benchmarks. 75 | 76 | 🧰 Tech Stack 77 | 78 | Languages: Python 🐍 79 | 80 | Frameworks: PyTorch, MONAI, MMDetection, TorchGeo 81 | 82 | Geospatial Tools: Rasterio, GDAL, EarthPy, SentinelHub 83 | 84 | Optimization: AdamW, SAM, RAdam, Lookahead 85 | 86 | Visualization: QGIS, Plotly, Matplotlib 87 | 88 | 📁 Repository Structure 89 | 📁 data/ #
