The basic topographic features are derived from public datasets, refined by means of visual interpretation of pre-event image Landsat-8. The thematic layer, assessing the delineation of the event, has been derived from post-event image Radarsat-2. All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced, orthocorrected with RPC approach (using SRTM elevation data). The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 50 m CE90 or better, from native positional accuracy of the background satellite image. The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85 % or better, based on previous experience in using high-resolution SAR for flood extent delineation. Please be aware that the thematic accuracy might be lower in urban and forested areas due to known limitations of the analysis technique. Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed. Contact Map produced by e-GEOS under contract 259736 with the European Union.
