EuroSAT: A Novel Dataset and Deep Learning Benchmark for Land Use and Land Cover Classification

Helber, Patrick, Bischke, Benjamin, Dengel, Andreas et al.

Understand

In this paper, we address the challenge of land use and land cover classification using Sentinel-2 satellite images.

  • The Sentinel-2 satellite images are openly and freely accessible provided in the Earth observation program Copernicus.
  • We present a novel dataset based on Sentinel-2 satellite images covering 13 spectral bands and consisting out of 10 classes with in total 27,000 labeled and geo-referenced images.
  • We provide benchmarks for this novel dataset with its spectral bands using state-of-the-art deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs).
