- Abstract summary: We present the ben-ge dataset, which supplements the BigEarthNet-MM dataset by compiling freely and globally available geographical and environmental data.
Based on this dataset, we showcase the value of combining different data modalities for the downstream tasks of patch-based land-use/land-cover classification and land-use/land-cover segmentation.

- Abstract: Deep learning methods have proven to be a powerful tool in the analysis of
large amounts of complex Earth observation data. However, while Earth
observation data are multi-modal in most cases, only single or few modalities
are typically considered. In this work, we present the ben-ge dataset, which
supplements the BigEarthNet-MM dataset by compiling freely and globally
available geographical and environmental data. Based on this dataset, we
showcase the value of combining different data modalities for the downstream
tasks of patch-based land-use/land-cover classification and land-use/land-cover
segmentation. ben-ge is freely available and expected to serve as a test bed
for fully supervised and self-supervised Earth observation applications.

Existing datasets for Above Ground Biomass estimation from satellite imagery are limited.
This dataset combines AGB reference data from the GEDI mission with data from Sentinel-2 and PALSAR-2 imagery.
It includes pre-processed high-level features such as a dense canopy height map, an elevation map, and a land-cover classification map.
It can be easily accessed using a single line of code, offering a solid basis for efforts towards global AGB estimation.
