UrbanFloodCast¶

Overview¶

urbanfloodcast adds an urban-focused raster baseline to the PyHazards inundation benchmark stack.

Benchmark Family

Flood Benchmark

Primary benchmark-family link used for compatible evaluation coverage.

Description¶

urbanfloodcast adds an urban-focused raster baseline to the PyHazards inundation benchmark stack.

The implementation keeps the shared spatiotemporal tensor contract used by the synthetic inundation smoke dataset.

Benchmark Compatibility¶

Primary benchmark family: Flood Benchmark

Mapped benchmark ecosystems: FloodCastBench

Programmatic Use¶

import torch
from pyhazards.models import build_model

model = build_model(name="urbanfloodcast", task="regression", in_channels=3, history=4)
preds = model(torch.randn(2, 4, 3, 16, 16))
print(preds.shape)

Notes¶

Outputs are next-horizon inundation depth rasters.
