Individual Tree Crown Delineation Datasets of Berlin and Osnabrueck

This dataset includes manually delineated individal tree crowns of urban trees in Berlin and Osnabrueck. These tree crowns were manually labelled based on official tree register data and are divided into seven different urban environment classes. The Mask R-CNN prediction results based on false colour orthophoto imagery from August 2020 for Berlin and June 2023 for Osnabrueck were also included in the dataset. These, in combination with the ground truth labels, were used for tuning and validating the Mask R-CNN model. Overall, this dataset features aerial imagery in false colour and RGB representation, ground truth labels and the predicted tree crown delineations created by our model. This data can be used for further ITCD analysis or advanced urban tree monitoring.
