Rapid and reliable flood segmentation utilizing optical remote-sensing imagery is critical for effective flood disaster response and risk assessment. Nevertheless, current models frequently struggle with imprecise boundary delineation and fragmented predictions in complex environments, especially where floodwater displays high spectral variability and closely resembles shadows, dark pavements, or wet soil. To overcome these challenges, we introduce FloodSeg, an innovative Mamba-CNN encoder–decoder network incorporating two lightweight yet highly effective components: a Shift module and a sequence-shuffle module. The spatial Shift module leverages spatially shifted feature aggregation to fortify boundary-aware representations, thereby ensuring the continuity of inundation contours even under varying illumination and cluttered backgrounds. Meanwhile, the sequence-shuffle module reorganizes multi-scale features via sequence-wise mixing and cross-regional interaction, significantly enhancing long-range dependency modeling. This facilitates the generation of globally consistent flood masks while mitigating local overfitting to dataset-specific textures. Evaluated on the Kaggle and FloodNet benchmark datasets, FloodSeg achieves outstanding mIoU scores of 81.85% and 91.21%, respectively. By outperforming various state-of-the-art CNN-, Transformer-, and Mamba-based baselines, our model demonstrates a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off. These results substantiate that FloodSeg significantly advances boundary recognition and overall segmentation completeness, establishing it as a robust and practical solution for real-world remote-sensing flood mapping applications
