Note that the images are the same as the LoveDA dataset, so the urban and rural areas can be divided on your own.

Test

# 1. generate semantic masks use the pre-trained SFPN weight
sh ./scripts/generate_segfeats.sh
# 2. generate answers use the pre-trained SOBA weight
sh ./scripts/predict_soba.sh

Train

# 1 train a segmentation model
sh ./scripts/train_sfpnr50.sh
# 2 generate segmentation features and pse-masks
sh ./scripts/generate_segfeats.sh
# 3 train SOBA
sh ./scripts/train_soba.sh

Dataset and Contest

The EarthVQA dataset is released at <b>Google Drive</b> and <b>Baidu Drive</b>

You can develop your models on Train and Validation sets.

Semantic Category labels: background – 1, building – 2, road – 3, water – 4, barren – 5,forest – 6, agriculture – 7, playground - 8. And the no-data regions were assigned 0 which should be ignored. The provided data loader will help you construct your pipeline.

Submit your test results on <b>EarthVQA Semantic Segmentation Challenge</b>, <b>EarthVQA Visual Question Answering Challenge</b>. You will get your Test scores smoothly.

Feel free to design your own models, and we are looking forward to your exciting results!
