Data Format

The dataset is structured in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF format, which enables efficient access to large geospatial datasets over the web.

Usage

The dataset is suitable for training and evaluating models for field boundary and building footprint segmentation tasks. The labels are provided in the Labels directory, with building footprints labeled with a class value of 1, and field boundaries labeled with a class value of 2. In the case where building footprint is within field boundary, it has a class value of 3. Every other item not either of the two has a class value of 0.
