Near Real-Time Single-Image SAR Flood Mapping With Synthetic Pre-Event Reference: On-Demand COSMO-SkyMed Case Study

Near-real-time (NRT) flood mapping from on-demand synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is often hindered by the lack of a suitable pre-event image in the archive. Under emergency conditions, searching for a recent, radiometrically comparable pre-event acquisition can be unsuccessful, limiting change-...
