Annotated datasets have become one of the most crucial preconditions for the development and evaluation of machine learning-based methods designed for the automated interpretation of remote sensing data. In this study, we have reviewed the historic development of such datasets, discussed their features based on a few selected examples, and addressed open issues for future developments.
To the best of our knowledge, and to the best of our findings, until May 2021, the following graph displays more than 90% of the benchmark datasets in remote sensing and photogrammetry. This graph includes all the available datasets which are acquired using airborne/spaceborne imaging/radar sensors. (It DOES NOT include POINT CLOUD datasets). This list is going to be more complete in the future and we are still working on it.
This study is a collaboration between Michael Schmitt, Ronny Hänsch and me.
181 benchmark satellite datasets have been reviewed and their statistics is provided in the following table. The table includes a link to the datasets webpages, their volume, publication date, their specidied task and some other stats. The figures in the paper summarize these stats.
(For the high resolution scatter image please refer to the paper.)
Also, the following drawing simplifies the concept behind our "Size Measure" and "Volume Measure".
UPDATE (09 August 2023): Our review paper with a team of scientists around the world is published in IEEE GRSM. You can find it in this link. You can find more information at our IGARSS-2021 paper.
⭐⭐⭐ Our new paper which is an extended version of the above paper is published as a review paper in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine (GRSM). You can find it in this link.⭐⭐⭐
NOTICE: You can find each dataset's link on the most right column. Scroll the table to right! NOTICE: Finish the table. You'll find more AWESOME stuff!
