LOFAR RFI Detection (Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Radio Frequency Interference Detection)
This dataset contains simulated and expert-labelled spectrograms from two radio telescopes: the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) in South Africa and the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) in the Netherlands. These datasets are intended to test radio-frequency interference (RFI) detection schemes. This entry pertains to the LOFAR dataset specifically.
The LOFAR dataset is comprised of: - 7609 Spectrograms and accompanying binary mask information.
This dataset has been preprocessed into 512 x 512 x 1 images. The low number of target pixels (RFI) proportional to the total data volume makes this dataset a useful test for RFI detection schemes in radio astronomy and, more generally, anomaly detection or semantic segmentation methods.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
1 shown of 1 paper 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 2. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
