SpaceNet 2 (SpaceNet 2: Building Detection v2)

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

SpaceNet 2: Building Detection v2 - is a dataset for building footprint detection in geographically diverse settings from very high resolution satellite images. It contains over 302,701 building footprints, 3/8-band Worldview-3 satellite imagery at 0.3m pixel res., across 5 cities (Rio de Janeiro, Las Vegas, Paris, Shanghai, Khartoum), and covers areas that are both urban and suburban in nature. The dataset was split using 60%/20%/20% for train/test/validation.

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