# ImpactMesh

ImpactMesh is a large-scale multimodal, multitemporal dataset for flood and wildfire mapping, released by IBM, DLR, and the ESA Φ-lab. 
It combines Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 optical imagery, and Copernicus DEM with high-quality annotations from Copernicus EMS. 
The dataset covers over 400 events globally with four temporal observations per event.

## Dataset

Please find the wildfire subset at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ibm-esa-geospatial/ImpactMesh-Fire and the flood samples at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ibm-esa-geospatial/ImpactMesh-FLood.

This repository provides code to build the pytorch dataloader or directly fine-tune a model with [TerraTorch](https://terrastackai.github.io/terratorch/stable/).

## Setup

Quick start from pypi:
```shell
pip install impactmesh
```

Alternatively create a new environment and install TerraTorch and the package from source:
```shell
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install git+https://github.com/terrastackai/terratorch.git@multimodal
pip install zarr==2.18.0 numcodecs==0.15.1
pip install -e .
```

ImpactMesh uses Zarr Version 2.

## Fine-tuning

Run training using on of the configs provided in [configs/](configs).
```shell
terratorch fit --config configs/terramind_v1_tiny_impactmesh_fire.yaml
```

Run the evaluation on the test split.
```shell
terratorch test --config configs/terramind_v1_tiny_impactmesh_fire.yaml -- ckpt output/terramind_tiny_impactmesh_fire/1e-4/best_val_loss.ckpt
```

Run prediction with the following command:
```shell
terratorch predict -c configs/terramind_v1_tiny_impactmesh_fire.yaml --ckpt path/to/ckeckpoint.pt --predict_output_dir output/impactmesh_fire_predictions

# TerraTorch automatically uses a tiled inference. It might still lead to OOM errors. In that case, you can use:
python impactmesh/run_inference.py -c configs/terramind_v1_tiny_impactmesh_fire.yaml --ckpt path/to/ckeckpoint.pt --output_dir output/impactmesh_fire_predictions
```
