LARGE-SCALE MAPPING OF PLASTIC-COVERED GREENHOUSES BY SATELLITE IMAGERY: EXISTING GLOBAL MAPS. IEEE J-STARS DATASET

LARGE-SCALE MAPPING OF PLASTIC-COVERED GREENHOUSES BY SATELLITE IMAGERY: EXISTING GLOBAL MAPS Manuel A. Aguilar, Abderrahim Nemmaoui, Gizem Senel, and Fernando J. Aguilar IEEE J. Sel. Top. Appl. Earth Observ. Remote Sens. DATASET: Attached are the classification results and accuracy assessment results for the five study areas. The following folders are included: Agadir, Almeria, Antalya, Nantong, and Weifang. Each folder contains 5 subfolders and a QGIS project (Created with QGIS 3.42.0 Münster): IPGHI: Contains the classification files based on the threshold model for S2, called Improved Plastic Greenhouse Index (IPGHI), which was published by Senel et al. (2023)[1]. Details of the contents within each subfolder are provided below in blue. SHP_GH_NGH: Contains SHAPE (SHP) format polygons representing Plastic Covered Greenhouses (PCG) for each study area and date. Niu et al 2025: Contains the classification files for the Global PCG classification based on Sentinel-2 imagery, published by Niu et al. (2025)[2]. Details of the contents within each subfolder are provided below in blue. Tong et al_2024(PS): Contains the classification files for the Global PCG classification based on PlanetScope commercial satellite images with 3m ground sample distance, published by Tong et al. (2024)[3]. Details of the contents within each subfolder are provided below in blue. These files are organized in the same order as the folders within the QGIS project. KMZ: KMZ file(s) containing the ground truth polygons of the date or dates used for the calculation of the precision parameters. [1] G. Senel, M. A. Aguilar, F. J. Aguilar, A. Nemmaoui, and C.
