Introduced by Gencer Sumbul et al. in BigEarthNet: A Large-Scale Benchmark Archive For Remote Sensing Image Understanding archive 2025-07-28

BigEarthNet consists of 590,326 Sentinel-2 image patches, each of which is a section of i) 120x120 pixels for 10m bands; ii) 60x60 pixels for 20m bands; and iii) 20x20 pixels for 60m bands.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

6 shown of 6 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 85. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
