# Dataset Card for Dataset Name

Modified version of the xView Satellite Imagery dataset for the purposes of demonstrating image classification models.

## Disclaimer
This dataset is a modified version of the xView dataset produced as a collaboration between the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUx) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).   The dataset is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). The modifications made to the original dataset are as follows: a selection of image regions labeled with bounding boxes were extracted to their own image files along with corresponding object labels in order to produce an image classification dataset.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

The original xView dataset is one of the largest publicly available dataset of overhead imagery sourced from across the world. It was originally designed as an object detection dataset with the inclusion of annotated bounding boxes of image elements.
This modified version of the dataset has been preprocessed to extract the portions of the imagery contained in labeled bounding boxes, as well as accompanying labels. This allows the use of the data for image classification purposes.
