# EuroSat (RGB)

## Description

A dataset based on Sentinel-2 satellite images covering 13 spectral bands and consisting of 10 classes with 27000 labeled and geo-referenced samples. This is the RGB version of the dataset with visible bands encoded as JPEG images.

The dataset does not have any default splits. Train, validation, and test splits were based on these definitions here https://github.com/google-research/google-research/blob/master/remote_sensing_representations/README.md#dataset-splits
