Nibio Mls Forest Point Cloud Segmentation

NIBIO_MLS: 64 mobile laser scanning (GeoSLAM ZEB-HORIZON) tiles from 16 plots of managed, coniferous-dominated boreal forest in south-eastern Norway, used as one of the real-world benchmarks in a study of multi-platform training for forest point cloud segmentation. Each row is one tile's point cloud (local coordinates in metres) with intensity, a per-point semantic label (ground, vegetation, lying deadwood, stem) and a per-point tree instance id (mask_2), in the published train, validation and test splits. The dataset contains 64 images with pixel-level mask annotations.

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.

The original train/test/val split has been preserved in the split column.
