Description

The “Wildfire Prediction Dataset” dataset offers more than 42,000 satellite images (350x350 pixels) divided into two classes: fire zones and fire free zones. These images were extracted from GPS coordinates of identified fires in Canada, using the MapBox API.

What is this dataset for?

  • Training computer vision models for forest fire detection and prediction
  • Develop environmental monitoring systems based on satellite images
  • Test multispectral image classification and spatial analysis algorithms

Can it be enriched or improved?

The dataset can be enriched with additional temporal data to track the progress of fires, or by more accurate annotations on fire intensity and surrounding vegetation. Integration with other multispectral satellite sources could improve the robustness of the models.
