Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification (RESISC45) Dataset

• Paper Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification: Benchmark and State of the Art
• Paper with code: RESISC45

Description

The RESISC45 dataset is a scene classification dataset that focuses on RGB images extracted using Google Earth. This dataset comprises a total of 31,500 images, with each image having a resolution of 256x256 pixels. RESISC45 contains 45 different scene classes, with 700 images per class. These images are collected from over 100 countries and were specifically selected to optimize for high variability in image conditions, including spatial resolution, occlusion, weather, illumination, and more. Among its notable features, RESISC45 contains varying spatial resolution ranging from 20cm to more than 30m/px.
