The Dataset

The LandCover.ai (Land Cover from Aerial Imagery) dataset is a dataset for automatic mapping of buildings, woodlands, water and roads from aerial images.

Dataset features

  • land cover from Poland, Central Europe 1
  • three spectral bands - RGB
  • 33 orthophotos with 25 cm per pixel resolution (~9000x9500 px)
  • 8 orthophotos with 50 cm per pixel resolution (~4200x4700 px)
  • total area of 216.27 km2

Dataset format

  • rasters are three-channel GeoTiffs with EPSG:2180 spatial reference system
  • masks are single-channel GeoTiffs with EPSG:2180 spatial reference system
