Land Cover Aerial Imagery (LICAID) dataset for semantic segmentation

Dataset Highlights: Title: Land Cover Aerial Imagery Dataset (LICAID) Focus Area: Franciacorta wine-growing region, Lombardy, Italy Data Source: Satellite imagery from Google Earth Pro Classes and Descriptions: Grasslands: Habitats dominated by grasses, with few or no trees, found in various climates from tropical to temperate regions. Arable Land: Land predominantly used for growing crops. Herb-dominated Habitats: Areas where non-woody plants (herbs) are the dominant vegetation, including meadows, prairies, marshes, and wetlands. Hedgerows: Linear strips of vegetation consisting of shrubs, small trees, and grasses, often used to mark boundaries or provide wildlife habitat in agricultural landscapes. Vineyards: Agricultural landscapes cultivated specifically for growing grapevines, typically for wine production. Tree-dominated Man-made Habitats: Human-modified landscapes where trees are the predominant vegetation, such as urban parks, orchards, and landscaped gardens. Olea europaea Groves: Groves or orchards of olive trees, primarily cultivated for the production of olives and olive oil, commonly found in Mediterranean regions. gy: Data Acquisition: 18 orthophoto tiles manually selected from Franciacorta. Satellite imagery and corresponding shape files acquired from Google Earth Pro. Georeferencing of imagery using ArcGIS software. Data Preparation: Segmentation using multiresolution segmentation in eCognition software. Validation of segmented images by a plant expert using QGIS software. Manual annotation of seven land cover classes.
