Cover Story: Flood inundation mapping (FIM) using remote sensing faces persistent challenges, including cloud and vegetation canopy obstruction and limited flood depth estimation. This study introduces FLDSensing, a novel hybrid approach that integrates remote sensing imagery with the FLDPLN flood inundation model to enhance both inundation extent and depth estimation. The method was applied to the Verdigris River in Kansas to map the late-May 2019 flood event using Sentinel-2 imagery. Results show that FLDSensing significantly improves FIM accuracy compared to remote sensing alone and performs favorably against several existing hybrid approaches. These findings demonstrate that coupling remote sensing data with the FLDPLN model provides a more robust and effective framework for remote sensing–based flood inundation mapping. View this paper
