MapInWild: A Remote Sensing Dataset to Address the Question What Makes Nature Wild

I. INTRODUCTION The advancement in deep learning (DL) techniques has led to a notable increase in the number and size of annotated datasets in a variety of domains, with remote sensing (RS) being no exception [1]. Also, an increase in earth observation (EO) missions and easy access to globally available and free geodata have opened up new research opportunities. Although numerous RS datasets have been published in the past years [2]-[6], most of them addressed tasks concerning man-made environments such as building footprint extraction and road network classification, leaving the environmental and ecology-related sub-areas of remote sensing underrepresented. The ESA WorldCover map legend is given below the figure. In this community, the classification task can be machine learning model in the form of deep neural networks. While some methods frame the RS-related classification (usually called semantic segmentation by tasks within the context of perturbation-seeking generative the computer vision community) the task outputs denselyannotated adversarial networks [14], some others made use of uncertainty prediction maps on a pixel scale by separating the estimation applied to deep ensembles [15] and self-attention input into distinct and semantically coherent segments.
