Remote Sensing

WITH the advancement in sensor technology, huge amounts of data are being collected from various satellites. Hence, the task of target-based data retrieval and acquisition has become exceedingly challenging. Existing satellites essentially scan a vast overlapping region of the Earth using various sensing techniques, like multi-spectral, hyperspectral, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), video, and compressed sensing, to name a few.

The DREAM (Data Rang or EArth Monitoring): a multimode database including optics, radar, DEM and OSM labels for deep machine learning purposes.

DREAM, is a multimodal remote sensing database, developed from open-source data.

The database has been created using the Google Earth Engine platform, the GDAL python library; the “pyosm” python package developed by Alexandre Mayerowitz (Airbus, France). If you want to use this dataset in your study, please cite:

As part of the 2018 IEEE GRSS Data Fusion Contest, the Hyperspectral Image Analysis Laboratory and the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) at the University of Houston are pleased to release a unique multi-sensor optical geospatial representing challenging urban land-cover land-use classification task. The data were acquired by NCALM over the University of Houston campus and its neighborhood on February 16, 2017 between 16:31 and 18:18 GMT.
