+# TreeFinder: A US-Scale Benchmark Dataset for Individual Tree Mortality Monitoring Using High-Resolution Aerial Imagery
+
+**TreeFinder** is a large-scale, high-resolution benchmark dataset for mapping individual dead trees across the contiguous United States (CONUS). The dataset is built from 0.6 m National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial imagery and provides pixel-level annotations of individual dead trees, ecological metadata, and benchmark evaluation settings for robust machine learning model development.
+
+TreeFinder was accepted to the **NeurIPS 2025 Datasets & Benchmarks Track**.
+
+**Project page**: https://github.com/zhwang0/treefinder
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+Tree mortality is an important indicator of forest health, carbon dynamics, ecosystem disturbance, and wildfire risk. However, existing large-scale forest monitoring products often operate at moderate spatial resolution and may miss individual tree-level mortality signals.
+
+TreeFinder addresses this gap by providing a machine-learning-ready benchmark for individual dead tree segmentation using high-resolution aerial imagery. It is designed to support research at the intersection of computer vision, remote sensing, ecological monitoring, and carbon assessment.
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+TreeFinder includes:
+
+- **1,000 sites** across the 48 contiguous U.S. states
+- **23,000+ hectares** of high-resolution NAIP imagery
+- **0.6 m spatial resolution** aerial imagery with 4 spectral channels: RGB + NIR
+- **20,000+ manually annotated individual dead trees**
+- **Pixel-level segmentation masks** for dead tree crowns
+- **ML-ready image patches** tiled into `224 × 224` samples
+- **Ecological metadata** including geographic location, climate zone, and forest type
+- **Benchmark settings** for evaluating in-domain performance and domain generalization
+
+## Supported Tasks
+
+TreeFinder supports the following machine learning tasks:
+
+- Individual dead tree segmentation
+- Binary semantic segmentation
+- Remote sensing image segmentation
+- Domain generalization across ecological and geographic conditions
+- Benchmarking foundation models and task-specific segmentation models for environmental monitoring
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+Each sample contains a high-resolution NAIP image patch and a corresponding binary segmentation mask.
+
+The imagery contains four channels:
+
+```text
+Red, Green, Blue, Near-Infrared
+```
+
+The segmentation mask is binary:
+
+```text
+0 = background
+1 = dead tree
+```
+
+The associated metadata is available in the .csv file. 
+
+
+## Data Sources
+
+TreeFinder is derived from high-resolution NAIP aerial imagery covering forested regions across CONUS. Dead tree annotations were manually created and validated using expert interpretation and multi-temporal image comparison.
+
+The dataset is intended to provide a reproducible benchmark for evaluating whether machine learning models can detect fine-scale tree mortality patterns from aerial imagery.
+
+## Dataset Splits
+
+TreeFinder provides ML-ready splits for model training and evaluation. The dataset supports both standard supervised learning and domain generalization evaluation.
+
+Recommended split types include:
+
+- **Random split**: standard train/validation/test evaluation
+- **Cross-region split**: training and testing across different U.S. regions
+- **Cross-climate split**: evaluation under Köppen–Geiger climate domain shifts
+- **Cross-forest-type split**: evaluation across dominant forest type groups
+
+Please refer to the accompanying benchmark configuration scripts for the exact split definitions in our codebase.
+
+## Metadata
+
+Each image patch is enriched with ecological and geographic metadata, including:
+
+- Geographic coordinates
+- U.S. state
+- Site identifier
+- Köppen–Geiger climate zone
+- Primary tree type derived from USDA Forest Service maps
+
+These metadata enable controlled evaluation under realistic ecological domain shifts, such as:
+
+- East-to-West transfer
+- Humid-to-arid climate transfer
+- Conifer-to-broadleaf forest transfer
+- Cross-biome generalization
+
+## Benchmark Models
+
+TreeFinder includes benchmark results from representative semantic segmentation models, including both task-specific architectures and foundation-model-based approaches.
+
+Evaluated models include:
+
+- **U-Net**
+- **DeepLabV3+**
+- **ViT-based segmentation model**
+- **SegFormer**
+- **Mask2Former**
+- **DOFA**, a multimodal foundation model trained on satellite data
+
+These models are evaluated under both in-domain and out-of-domain settings to assess robustness across geographic, climatic, and forest-type shifts.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+TreeFinder is designed for binary semantic segmentation. Recommended evaluation metrics include:
+
+- Intersection over Union (IoU)
+- F1 score / Dice coefficient
+- Precision
+- Recall
+- Pixel accuracy
+
+Because dead trees are sparse relative to background pixels, users are encouraged to report class-sensitive metrics such as IoU, F1, precision, and recall rather than relying only on overall accuracy.
+
+## Intended Uses
+
+TreeFinder is intended for research and benchmarking in:
+
+- Individual tree mortality mapping
+- Forest health monitoring
+- Remote sensing image segmentation
+- Ecological disturbance assessment
+- Carbon cycle and forest carbon monitoring
+- Wildfire risk-related vegetation analysis
+- Domain generalization for environmental computer vision
+- Evaluation of remote sensing foundation models
+
+
+## Ethical and Environmental Considerations
+
+TreeFinder does not contain personal or sensitive human information. The dataset is based on aerial imagery of forested landscapes and is intended for environmental monitoring and scientific research.
+
+Potential positive impacts include improved forest health assessment, better ecological disturbance monitoring, and support for carbon and wildfire-related research. Potential risks include misuse of model outputs for unsupported operational decisions if uncertainty, domain shift, or model limitations are ignored.
+
