Dataset Card for LAION-EO
Dataset Description
- Point of Contact: Mikolaj Czerkawski, mikolaj.czerkawski@esa.int
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains a subset of LAION-5B containing images that are likely to be satellite images. The procedure of acquiring and filtering the dataset has been described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15535.
| Version | Number of Samples |
|---|---|
| 0 | 24,933 |
| 1 | 112,985 |
Dataset Structure
Each version of the dataset contains a .csv file with metadata with urls to images, which can be easily filtered. Note that the linked images could be copyrighted.
Data Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| source | Index of the anchor sample |
| url | Link to the image |
| filename | Locally saved unique filename |
| id | Original ID |
| fast_similarity | Fast similarity to the anchor image computed with https://github.com/rom1504/clip-retrieval |
| caption | Text caption |
| image_similarity | CLIP similarity to the original anchor image |
| text_similarity | CLIP similarity to the text "a satellite image" |
| height | height of the image at url |
| width | Width of the image at url |
| lang | Language predicted using https://huggingface.co/papluca/xlm-roberta-base-language-detection |
| lang_score | A measure of confidence in the predicted language |
Example Samples
Data Splits
No official splitting of the dataset is used.
Dataset Creation
The creation of the prototype version is described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15535.
Curation Rationale
Extraction of samples in LAION-5B relevant to Earth observation tasks.
Source Data
Samples from the existing LAION-5B dataset (https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/).
Discussion of Biases
Only contains satellite images openly uploaded online, which introduces a heavy bias towards satellite images used for communicating ideas on the internet.
