# Simulated PhiSat Bench Dataset - Landcover
|
| 2 |
+
|
| 3 |
+
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
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
The landcover labels in this dataset follow a classification scheme defined by the [WorldCover PUM V1.1 guidelines](https://worldcover2020.esa.int/data/docs/WorldCover_PUM_V1.1.pdf).
|
| 8 |
+
Each pixel is labeled with the dominant landcover class. The key classes include:

|------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
| 12 |
+
| 10 | Tree Cover | Areas with ≥10% tree cover (includes plantations, flooded forests, excluding mangroves). |
|
| 13 |
+
| 20 | Shrubland | Dominated by natural shrubs, typically <5 m tall. |
|
| 14 |
+
| 30 | Grassland | Herbaceous vegetation like grasslands, steppes, prairies, and pastures. |
|
| 15 |
+
| 40 | Cropland | Annual crops harvested within 12 months; greenhouses are classified as built-up. |
|
| 16 |
+
| 50 | Built-up | Built environments, including buildings, roads, and other artificial infrastructure. |
|
| 17 |
+
| 60 | Bare/Sparse Vegetation | Areas with exposed soil, sand, or rocks; usually with <10% vegetative cover year-round. |
|
| 18 |
+
| 70 | Snow and Ice | Regions that are persistently covered by snow or ice. |
|
| 19 |
+
| 80 | Permanent Water Bodies | Water bodies present for at least 9 months per year (can be fresh or salt water). |
|
| 20 |
+
| 90 | Herbaceous Wetland | Areas dominated by herbaceous plants that are permanently or seasonally flooded. |
|
| 21 |
+
| 95 | Mangroves | Intertidal zones with salt-tolerant tree vegetation. |
|
| 22 |
+
| 100 | Moss and Lichen | Regions covered by lichens or mosses (often found in tundra or alpine zones). |
