Togo Cropland Map and Labeled Dataset

This dataset provides a 10 m resolution map of cropland in Togo (togo_cropland_2019.zip). Each pixel represents a posterior probability (ranging 0 to 1) that the pixel contains crops, predicted using an LSTM classifier and multi-spectral time series of Sentinel-2 satellite observations. For more details on the method, please see Kerner and Tseng, et al. (full reference below).

This dataset also provides the hand-labeled polygons used for training (crop_merged_v2.zi, noncrop_merged_v2.zip) and testing (togo_test_majority.zip) the model, which were created by experts based on photointerpretation of high-resolution imagery (primarily SkySat and PlanetScope) in QGIS and Google Earth Pro.
