## 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.
