Abstract 

LSD4WSD: Learning SAR Dataset for Wet Snow Detection.

The dataset can be found at : https://zenodo.org/record/8111485

The aim of this dataset is to provide a basis for automatic learning to detect wet snow.
It is based on Sentinel-1 SAR satellite images acquired between August 2020 and August 2021 over the French Alps. It consists of 487157 samples of size 16 by 16 by 9 for training and 3668 for testing. For each sample, the associated label is obtained using the Crocus physical model.

The 9 channels are in the following order:

 

  • Sentinel-1 polarimetric channels: VV, VH and the combination C: VV/VH,
  • Topographical features: altitude, orientation, slope
  • Polarimetric ratio with a reference summer image: VV/VVref, VH/VHref, C/Cref
Instructions: 

The utils.py file provides the function for opening the hdf5 file and displays the dataset characteristics.

Below is the associated command line:

>>> python3 utils.py --dirpath ./

The complete processing chain will be added in future versions at the following Github address.
