SentinelKilnDB: ALarge-Scale Dataset and Benchmark for OBBBrick Kiln Detection in South Asia Using Satellite Imagery Supplementary Information

The questions are presented in blue, with our corresponding responses shown in black. For what purpose was the dataset created? Was there a specific task in mind? This dataset was created for academic and research purposes to advance scientific understanding and support policy development on air quality and sustainability issues. The findings highlight important opportunities to improve regulatory compliance and encourage the adoption of cleaner technologies within the brick kiln sector, which is a significant contributor to regional air pollution. Beyond its environmental relevance, this dataset is especially valuable for the fields of object detection and computer vision. It provides a large-scale, hand-validated collection of brick kiln locations annotated with oriented bounding boxes (OBBs) on freely available Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
