Research data sources and models

We are now assuming we will use Sentinel-2.

  • What are the alternatives?
  • Are they compatible/convertable?
  • What are the differences? Resolution, frequency of updates, ease of access, cost?

Tasks

Based on current information it looks like the one shared by Jacopo is great:

Are there alternatives?
What are the pros/cons?

Ok I looked a little bit more into the links I sent before, and appararently Nasa had a competition in 2021 to do exactly what we want to do :)

Here is the competition: https://nasa-impact.github.io/etci2021/
The winner was this team: https://github.com/YZArren/ETCI2021
The second place was the Nvidia repo I sent before: https://github.com/sidgan/ETCI-2021-Competition-on-Flood-Detection

They use Sentinel-1 SAR data so radar not optical. They also distinguish between water bodies and flood.

@Feynlady, could you look into this a bit more and try to get one of these models to work in Colab?

Another relevant dataset is provided in this challenge (shared by Jacopo):
