Description

CPAZMAL: Cryosphere PAZ satellite MAchine Learning

The aim of this dataset is to serve as a foundation for machine learning in multi-class classification, specifically in mountainous regions. It comprises descending images acquired by the PAZ X-band satellite, focusing on the Mont Blanc region during the period from January 2020 to November 2021, totaling 56 acquisitions.

The time series is divided into two sub-sections:

  1. From January 2020 to 8th January 2021 included: dual polarisation HH and HV,
  2. After 8th January 2021: single polarisation HH.
The datas are divided into 8 classes:
  • Hanging Glacier (HAG)
  • Ice Aperon (ICA)
  • Ablation area
  • Accumulation area
  • Rock
  • Plain
  • Forest
  • City

In each classe, between 4 to 10 groups or distinct areas, where their complete description (position, aspect, elevation, ...) can be found in the desc_topo_areas.png file

We provide code that directly extracts temporal or spatial datasets, consisting of homogeneous windows paired with respective labels.
# Request and save data into hdf5 file
rqtemp = "classe in ['ICA','HAG','ABL','ACC','FOR','CIT','ROC','PLA'] & date < '2021-01-01'"
cdlf = Dataset_tiff2hdf5
		(
            path_to_folder_extracted, 
            different_group=True,
            n_jobs=1,
            outpath="path_to_dataset.h5", 
            extension="temporal"
        )
cdlf.extract_data(rqtemp, polarisation="HH", winsize=7, save=True)


# Load the previously extracted data set
(
    x,
    y,
    gr,
    org,
    _,
) = load_h5(path_to_dataset.h5)
An example of how to use it can be found at Github.
