# Dataset Card for Dataset Name

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [https://satinbenchmark.github.io](https://satinbenchmark.github.io)
- **Repository:** 
- **Paper:** [SATIN: A Multi-Task Metadataset for Classifying Satellite Imagery using Vision-Language Models](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.11619.pdf)
- **Leaderboard:** [SATIN Leaderboard](https://satinbenchmark.github.io/leaderboard.md)

### Dataset Summary

SATIN (SATellite ImageNet) is a metadataset containing 27 constituent satellite and aerial image datasets spanning 6 distinct tasks: Land Cover, Land Use, 
Hierarchical Land Use, Complex Scenes, Rare Scenes, and False Colour Scenes. The imagery is globally distributed, comprised of resolutions spanning 5 orders 
of magnitude, multiple fields of view sizes, and over 250 distinct class labels.

## Dataset Structure

The SATIN benchmark is comprised of the following datasets:
#### Task 1: Land Cover
- SAT-4
- SAT-6
- NASC-TG2
#### Task 2: Land Use
- WHU-RS19
- RSSCN7
- RS_C11
- SIRI-WHU
- EuroSAT
- NWPU-RESISC45
- PatternNet
- RSD46-WHU
- GID
- CLRS
- Optimal-31
#### Task 3: Hierarchical Land Use
- Million-AID
- RSI-CB256
#### Task 4: Complex Scenes
- UC_Merced_LandUse_MultiLabel
- MLRSNet
- MultiScene
- AID_MultiLabel
#### Task 5: Rare Scenes
- Airbus-Wind-Turbines-Patches
- USTC_SmokeRS
- Canadian_Cropland
- Ships-In-Satellite-Imagery
- Satellite-Images-of-Hurricane-Damage
#### Task 6: False Colour Scenes
- Brazilian_Coffee_Scenes
- Brazilian_Cerrado-Savanna_Scenes

For ease of use and to avoid having to download the entire benchmark for each use, in this dataset repository, each of the 27 datasets is included as a separate 
'config'.

### Example Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset


hf_dataset = load_dataset('jonathan-roberts1/SATIN', DATASET_NAME, split='train') # for DATASET_NAME use one of the configs listed above (e.g., EuroSAT)
features = hf_dataset.features
class_labels = features['label'].names # Note for the Hierarchical Land Use datasets, the label field is replaced with label1, label2, ...

random_index = 5
example = hf_dataset[random_index]
image, label = example['image'], example['label']
```

### Data Splits

For each config, there is just the single, default 'train' split.

### Source Data

More information regarding the source data can be found in our paper. Additionally, each of the constituent datasets have been uploaded to HuggingFace datasets.
They can be accessed at: huggingface.co/datasets/jonathan-roberts1/DATASET_NAME.

### Dataset Curators

This dataset was curated by Jonathan Roberts, Kai Han, and Samuel Albanie

### Licensing Information

As SATIN is comprised of existing datasets with differing licenses, there is not a single license for SATIN. All of the datasets in SATIN can be used 
for research purposes; usage information of specific constituent datasets can be found in the Appendix of our paper.
