Abstract

We introduce OpenEarthMap, a benchmark dataset, for global high-resolution land cover mapping. OpenEarth-Map consists of 2.2 million segments of 5000 aerial and satellite images covering 97 regions from 44 countries across 6 continents, with manually annotated 8-class land cover labels at a 0.25-0.5m ground sampling distance. Se-mantic segmentation models trained on the OpenEarth-Map generalize worldwide and can be used as off-the-shelf models in a variety of applications. We evaluate the performance of state-of-the-art methods for unsupervised domain adaptation and present challenging problem settings suitable for further technical development. We also investigate lightweight models using automated neural architecture search for limited computational resources and fast mapping. The dataset is available at https: //open-earth-map.org.
