This repository contains the complete source code and data for reproducing the results reported in the paper. The proposed framework and models were implemented in tensorflow.keras (v 2.1). The weights of all the trained DL models are included.

The implementations of the SWIN-Unet and Attention U-net were adapted from the keras-unet-collection repository of Yingkai (Kyle) Sha.

• data includes the raw data, as well as the datasets (in tf.data.Dataset format) created from it, based on which the coastal flood prediction models were trained, validated and tested.

• models contains the implementation of the models (in tensorflow.keras v 2.1 ) along with the weights of the trained models (in h5 format).

• model_training.ipynb provides a sample code for training Deep Vision-based coastal flood prediction models with the proposed approach.

• performance_evaluation.ipynb includes a sample code for assessing the performance of the developed models and visualizing predictions (see also Illustrations.ipynb).

To re-train the aforementioned three models (SWIN-Unet, Attention U-net, CASPIAN):

1: Open model_training.ipynb, select the model and define your desired hyperparameters:

grid_size = 1024

AUTOTUNE = tf.data.AUTOTUNE

batch_size = 2

split = 1

output_1d = False

EPOCHS = 200

  

MODEL_NAME = "SWIN-Unet"

LR = 0.0008

MIN_LR = LR/10

WARMUP_EPOCHS = 20

2: Load the dataset:

ds = {

'train': tf.data.Dataset.load("./data/train_ds_aug_split_%d" % split).map(lambda f,x,y,yf: tf.py_function(clear_ds,

inp=[f,x,y,yf, output_1d],

Tout=[tf.float32, tf.float32])),

'val': tf.data.Dataset.load("./data/val_ds_aug_split_%d" % split).map(lambda f,x,y,yf: tf.py_function(clear_ds,

inp=[f,x,y,yf, output_1d],

Tout=[tf.float32, tf.float32]))

}

In the current implementation, the training and validation datasets are assumed to be pre-augmented. To recreate these datasets run the data/Dataset_construction.ipynb notebook. For a more memory-efficient implementation the augmentation can be performed on the fly during the training by passing a data generator to the model.fit() function.

3: Select the remaining hyperparameters, callbacks and initiate the training:

model.summary()

  

history_warmup = model.fit(ds['train'],

epochs=WARMUP_EPOCHS,

validation_data=ds['val'],

callbacks=[checkpoint, tensorboard_callback, warm_up_lr]) #PrintLearningRate()#reduce_lr#early_stop

  

model.load_weights("./models/trained_models/%s/initial/" % MODEL_NAME)

history = model.fit(ds['train'],

epochs=EPOCHS,

validation_data=ds['val'],

callbacks=[checkpoint, tensorboard_callback, early_stop, reduce_lr]) #PrintLearningRate()#reduce_lr#early_stop

  

model.load_weights("./models/trained_models/%s/initial/" % MODEL_NAME)

model.save("./models/trained_models/"+MODEL_NAME+"_split_{}".format(str(split)), save_format='h5')

To ensure the robustness of the results, the models were trained on three (randomly generated) data splits. To produce a flood inundation map with the trained models for a given shoreline protection scenario, select a split, load the corresponding weights of the chosen trained model, and provide the input hypothetical flood susceptibility map:

model = tf.keras.models.load_model("./models/trained_models/"+MODEL_NAME+"_split_{}".format(str(split)), compile=False)

for sample in ds_eval['test'].as_numpy_iterator():

scenario, input_grid, label, label_flat = sample

pred = model.predict(input_grid)[0, :, :, 0]
