Dataset for Desk-AId system, a Humanitarian Aid Desk Assessment with Geospatial AI for Predicting Risk of Landmines

The process of demining starts by assessing and prioritizing potential hazardous areas (i.e., desk assessment) to go under thorough investigation of experts, who confirm the risk and proceed with the landmine clearance operations. This dataset is used by Desk-AId, a system that supports experts during the desk assessment phase by estimating landmine risks using geospatial data, historical data, and information on public infrastructure such as roads, buildings and facilities. Desk-AId addresses the issue of having only ground-truth of confirmed hazardous areas by implementing multiple negative points sampling and augmentation strategies. Experiments validate Desk-AId in two landmine risk assessment scenarios: 1) country-wide assessment with different granularity, and 2) uncharted study area assessment.
