SpaceNet 1 (SpaceNet 1: Building Detection v1)

Introduced by Adam Van Etten et al. in SpaceNet: A Remote Sensing Dataset and Challenge Series3 Jul 2018 archive 2025-07-28

SpaceNet 1: Building Detection v1 is a dataset for building footprint detection. The data is comprised of 382,534 building footprints, covering an area of 2,544 sq. km of 3/8 band WorldView-2 imagery (0.5 m pixel res.) across the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The images are processed as 200m×200m tiles with associated building footprint vectors for training.

The main use case for the detection of building footprints from satellite imagery is to aid foundational mapping.

4 shown of 4 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 5. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
