Alexandria - People and Water dataset

<p>This dataset is a compilation of labeled data originating from Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2, and the Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM). It offers a rich and comprehensive resource for those interested in geospatial analysis and remote sensing of the region incorporating Alexandria and several other notable locations in Egypt, Gaza, and Israel.</p> <p>The dataset includes three distinct files and a directory, each containing specific data:</p> <ol> <li> <p><code>S1.tif</code>: This file houses Sentinel 1 data specifically curated for Alexandria. The data is presented in two bands; Band 1 displays VV polarization while Band 2 displays VH polarization, both expressed in decibels (dB).</p> </li> <li> <p><code>S2.tif</code>: This file is contains&nbsp;Sentinel 2 data, again focusing on Alexandria. It comprises nine bands, namely B02, B03, B04, B05, B06, B07, B08, B11, and B12. It&#39;s noteworthy to mention that band B8A is not included in this collection.</p> </li> <li> <p><code>DEM_Orientation.tif</code>: This file contains the Copernicus DEM data for Alexandria. It incorporates four bands: Band 1 and 2 encode the aspect in sine and cosine respectively, Band 3 depicts the slope ranging from 0 to 1, and Band 4 represents height, which is normalized to the elevation of Mount Everest.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The accompanying directory is an exhaustive collection of 78 geospatial patches derived from various locations across Egypt, Gaza, and Israel. Each patch includes its own set of <code>DEM_Orientation</code>, <code>S1</code>, <code>S2</code>, and a unique label. These labels denote the amount of square meters of built-up area present in each 10x10m pixel, effectively representing built-up area coverage as a percentage. This crucial detail enables a deeper understanding of urbanization patterns and building densities across these regions.</p>
