Providing a greater precision of Situational Awareness of urban floods through Multimodal Fusion

作者:

Highlights:

• We identified flood-prone areas in the city of São Paulo (Brazil).

• Empirical methods for setting the flooded area’s range are better than Semivariogram.

• Our multimodal fusion model can obtain Situational Awareness of urban flooding.

• Our hybrid multimodal fusion model is better than classic multimodal fusion models.

• Our hybrid multimodal fusion model is more precise than the unimodal systems.
