Satellite Image Time Series Datasets

This page presents a list of satellite imagery datasets with a temporal dimension, mainly satellite image time series (SITS) and satellite videos, for various computer vision and deep learning tasks. It covers multi-temporal datasets with more than two acquisitions but not bi-temporal datasets. We focus mainly on annotated datasets.

Table of Contents

Semantic and Instance Segmentation

Datasets are sorted by annotation granularity. We note that polygons annotations are reserved for crop-type identification tasks, while pixel annotations might be considered in more general tasks such as land cover mapping.
