What is Surface Water Mapping about?

## Overview In this chapter, you will learn the step-by-step implementation of an efficient and robust approach for mapping surface water. You will also learn how the extracted surface water information can be used in conjunction with historical surface water information to extract flooded areas. This chapter will focus mostly on the use of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, but the approaches apply to both SAR and optical remotely sensed data. ## Learning Outcomes • Applying Otsu thresholding techniques for surface water mapping. • Understanding the considerations of global versus adaptive histogram sampling. • Implementing an adaptive histogram sampling approach. • Extracting flooded areas from a surface water map. ## Helps if you know how to • Import images and image collections, filter, and visualize (Chaps. 2 and 3). • Create a graph using ui.Chart (Chap. 4).
