# California Burned Areas Dataset |
|
|
|
**Working on adding more data** |
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
- **Paper:** |
|
|
|
### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
This dataset contains images from Sentinel-2 satellites taken before and after a wildfire. |
|
The ground truth masks are provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and they are mapped on the images. |
|
|
|
### Supported Tasks |
|
|
|
The dataset is designed to do binary semantic segmentation of burned vs unburned areas. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
We opted to use HDF5 to grant better portability and lower file size than GeoTIFF. |
|
|
|
### Dataset opening |
|
|
|
Using the dataset library, you download only the pre-patched raw version for simplicity. |
|
```python |
|
from dataset import load_dataset |
|
|
|
# There are two available configurations, "post-fire" and "pre-post-fire." |
|
dataset = load_dataset("DarthReca/california_burned_areas", name="post-fire") |
|
``` |
|
|
|
The dataset was compressed using `h5py` and BZip2 from `hdf5plugin`. **WARNING: `hdf5plugin` is necessary to extract data**. |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
Each matrix has a shape of 5490x5490xC, where C is 12 for pre-fire and post-fire images, while it is 0 for binary masks. |
|
Pre-patched version is provided with matrices of size 512x512xC, too. In this case, only mask with at least one positive pixel is present. |
|
|
|
You can find two versions of the dataset: _raw_ (without any transformation) and _normalized_ (with data normalized in the range 0-255). |
|
Our suggestion is to use the _raw_ version to have the possibility to apply any wanted pre-processing step. |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
In each standard HDF5 file, you can find post-fire, pre-fire images, and binary masks. The file is structured in this way: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
├── foldn |
|
│ ├── uid0 |
|
│ │ ├── pre_fire |
|
│ │ ├── post_fire |
|
│ │ ├── mask |
|
│ ├── uid1 |
|
│ ├── post_fire |
|
│ ├── mask |
|
│ |
|
├── foldm |
|
├── uid2 |
|
│ ├── post_fire |
|
│ ├── mask |
|
├── uid3 |
|
├── pre_fire |
|
├── post_fire |
|
├── mask |
|
... |
|
``` |
|
|
|
where `foldn` and `foldm` are fold names and `uidn` is a unique identifier for the wildfire. |
|
|
|
For the pre-patched version, the structure is: |
|
```bash |
|
root |
|
| |
|
|-- uid0_x: {post_fire, pre_fire, mask} |
|
| |
|
|-- uid0_y: {post_fire, pre_fire, mask} |
|
| |
|
|-- uid1_x: {post_fire, mask} |
|
| |
|
... |
|
``` |
|
the fold name is stored as an attribute. |
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
There are 5 random splits whose names are: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
Data are collected directly from Copernicus Open Access Hub through the API. The band files are aggregated into one single matrix. |
