LandCover.CARTOSAT-2E: A High-Resolution Multispectral Dataset for Land Cover Semantic Segmentation

LandCover.CARTOSAT-2E is a high-resolution multispectral remote sensing dataset developed for semantic segmentation of land cover from satellite imagery. The dataset is derived from ISRO's CARTOSAT-2E satellite imagery acquired over Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, and contains four spectral bands (RGB + Near-Infrared) together with manually annotated pixel-wise ground truth masks for six land cover classes. The dataset has been developed to support research in semantic segmentation, land cover mapping, urban monitoring, and deep learning for remote sensing applications. Standard training, validation, and test splits are provided to facilitate reproducible benchmarking.
