## π Usage |
|
|
|
To get started with this dataset, use the following code snippet: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
# Install the datasets library if you haven't already |
|
!pip install datasets |
|
|
|
# Import necessary modules |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
# Load the dataset |
|
dataset = load_dataset('prs-eth/AGBD', trust_remote_code=True, streaming=True)["train"] # Options: "train", "val", "test" |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This code will load the dataset as an `IterableDataset`. You can find more information on how to work with `IterableDataset` objects in the [Hugging Face documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/access#iterabledataset). |

## π Dataset Overview |
|
|
|
Each sample in the dataset contains a **pair of pre-cropped, pre-normalized images** along with their corresponding **biomass labels**. For additional resources, including links to the preprocessed uncropped data, please visit the [project page on GitHub](https://github.com/ghjuliasialelli/AGBD/). |
|
|
|
### βοΈ Load Dataset Options |
|
|
|
The `load_dataset` function provides the following configuration options: |
|
|
|
- **`normalize_data`**: `{True, False}` |
|
Whether to return **normalized (0-1) data** or **raw values**. |
|
|
|
- **`additional_features`**: `[]` |
|
A list of additional features the dataset should include. *Refer to the documentation below for more details.* |
|
|
|
- **`patch_size`**: `25` |
|
The size of the returned patch (in pixels). The maximum value is **25 pixels**, which corresponds to **250 meters**. |
|

|
|
Each image consists of **24 channels**, organized into the following categories: |
|
|
|
- **Spectral Bands**: |
|
`B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B06, B07, B08, B8A, B09, B11, B12` |
|
|
|
- **Geographical Coordinates**: |
|
`lat_cos, lat_sin, lon_cos, lon_sin` |
|
|
|
- **ALOS PALSAR Bands**: |
|
`alos_hh, alos_hv` |
|
|
|
- **Canopy Heights**: |
|
`ch, ch_std` |
|
|
|
- **Land Cover Information**: |
|
`lc_cos, lc_sin, lc_prob` |
|
|
|
- **Digital Elevation Model (DEM)**: |
|
`dem` |
|

|
### β Additional Features |
|
|
|
You can include a list of additional features from the options below in your dataset configuration: |
|
- **`"agbd_se"` - AGBD Standard Error**: The uncertainty estimate associated with the aboveground biomass density prediction for each GEDI footprint. |
|
- **`"elev_lowes"` - Elevation**: The height above sea level at the location of the GEDI footprint. |
|
- **`"leaf_off_f"` - Leaf-Off Flag**: Indicates whether the measurement was taken during the leaf-off season, which can impact canopy structure data. |
|
- **`"pft_class"` - Plant Functional Type (PFT) Class**: Categorization of the vegetation type (e.g., deciduous broadleaf, evergreen needleleaf). |
|
- **`"region_cla"` - Region Class**: The geographical area where the footprint is located (e.g., North America, South Asia). |
|
- **`"rh98"` - RH98 (Relative Height at 98%)**: The height at which 98% of the returned laser energy is reflected, a key measure of canopy height. |
|
- **`"sensitivity"` - Sensitivity**: The proportion of laser pulse energy reflected back to the sensor, providing insight into vegetation density and structure. |
|
- **`"solar_elev"` - Solar Elevation**: The angle of the sun above the horizon at the time of measurement, which can affect data quality. |
|
- **`"urban_prop"` - Urban Proportion**: The percentage of the footprint area that is urbanized, helping to filter or adjust biomass estimates in mixed landscapes. |
|
- **`"gedi_num_days"` - Date of GEDI Footprints**: The specific date on which each GEDI footprint was captured, adding temporal context to the measurements. |
|
- **`"s2_num_days"` - Date of Sentinel-2 Image**: The specific date on which each Sentinel-2 image was captured, ensuring temporal alignment with GEDI data. |
|
- **`"lat"` - Latitude**: Latitude of the central pixel. |
|
- **`"lon"` - Longitude**: Longitude of the central pixel. |
