Simulated PhiSat Bench Dataset - Landcover
This repository contains a simulated PhiSat2 dataset derived from Sentinel-2 data for landcover classification, with a spatial resolution of 10 meters per pixel.
Landcover Labels
The landcover labels in this dataset follow a classification scheme defined by the WorldCover PUM V1.1 guidelines. Each pixel is labeled with the dominant landcover class. The key classes include:
| Code | Class Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Tree Cover | Areas with ≥10% tree cover (includes plantations, flooded forests, excluding mangroves). |
| 20 | Shrubland | Dominated by natural shrubs, typically <5 m tall. |
| 30 | Grassland | Herbaceous vegetation like grasslands, steppes, prairies, and pastures. |
| 40 | Cropland | Annual crops harvested within 12 months; greenhouses are classified as built-up. |
| 50 | Built-up | Built environments, including buildings, roads, and other artificial infrastructure. |
| 60 | Bare/Sparse Vegetation | Areas with exposed soil, sand, or rocks; usually with <10% vegetative cover year-round. |
| 70 | Snow and Ice | Regions that are persistently covered by snow or ice. |
| 80 | Permanent Water Bodies | Water bodies present for at least 9 months per year (can be fresh or salt water). |
| 90 | Herbaceous Wetland | Areas dominated by herbaceous plants that are permanently or seasonally flooded. |
| 95 | Mangroves | Intertidal zones with salt-tolerant tree vegetation. |
| 100 | Moss and Lichen | Regions covered by lichens or mosses (often found in tundra or alpine zones). |
Use Case
This dataset is intended for landcover classification tasks, including applications in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and resource management.
