Researchers have introduced GEOID-Flood, a large-scale multi-modal dataset designed for flood segmentation tasks. This benchmark dataset, derived from ten years of Copernicus Emergency Management Service activations across 65 countries, includes co-registered pre- and post-event Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery, along with digital elevation models and manually validated labels. Initial evaluations using GEOID-Flood indicate that foundation models provide a modest advantage over conventional encoders, with optical-SAR fusion and fine-tuning proving most effective for identifying transient flooding.
