## Burned Area Dataset Overview
This dataset is based on Sentinel-2 imagery and provides **simulated burned area data** at a **4.75-meter spatial resolution**. It allows for detailed post-fire landscape analysis in different ecosystems around the world.
- **Wildfire events:** 115
- **Continents covered:** 6
- **Fire types included:** Boreal, temperate, tropical
### Classes
Each image is labeled with four classes:
- **Background**
- **Burned Area**
- **Clouds**
- **Waterbodies**
Including *Clouds* and *Waterbodies* helps models handle real-world issues like cloud cover and similar-looking features, improving model performance and generalization.
### Class Distribution by Dataset Split
| Class | Test (%) | Validation (%) | Training (%) |
|---------------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Background | 20.0 | 20.4 | 59.7 |
| Burned Area | 19.8 | 20.1 | 60.1 |
| Clouds | 19.4 | 20.1 | 60.5 |
| Waterbodies | 20.8 | 19.4 | 59.8 |
This dataset is well-suited for wildfire mapping, monitoring, and ecological research.
