LoveDA (Remote Sensing Land-Cover Dataset for Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation)

Introduced by Junjue Wang et al. in LoveDA: A Remote Sensing Land-Cover Dataset for Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation17 Oct 2021 archive 2025-07-28

  1. 5987 high spatial resolution (0.3 m) remote sensing images from Nanjing, Changzhou, and Wuhan
  2. Focus on different geographical environments between Urban and Rural
  3. Advance both semantic segmentation and domain adaptation tasks
  4. Three considerable challenges:
    • Multi-scale objects
    • Complex background samples
    • Inconsistent class distributions

Two contests are held on the Codalab: LoveDA Semantic Segmentation Challenge, LoveDA Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Challenge

15 shown of 15 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 81. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
