Kenya Cropland Map and Non-Crop Labelled dataset

This dataset provides a 10m resolution map of cropland in Kenya for the 2019-2020 growing season (kenya_cropland_binary_2019.tif.zip) and a 10m resolution map of cropland in Busia County, Kenya for the 2020-2021 growing season (busia_cropland_binary_2020.tif.zip). Each pixel has a binary value, 0 if it does not contain crops and 1 if it does. These values were obtained by thresholding the predictions of an LSTM classifier trained on multi-spectral time series of Sentinel-2 satellite observations. A thresholding value of 0.5 was used.

This dataset also provides the hand-labelled non-crop points used for training, which were created by labelling high-resolution satellite imagery in QGIS and Google Earth Pro.
