Description

Published as part of AI4AGRI, the AgriPotential dataset provides an open-access benchmark for modeling and predicting agricultural potentials using remote sensing and machine learning. It integrates multispectral Sentinel-2 satellite imagery across 2019 and expert-labeled ground truth from the BD Sol – GDPA database.

The dataset focuses on assessing suitability for three major crop types, viticulture, market gardening, and field crops, across five levels of potential: Very Low to Very High.

Covering a Mediterranean region in Hérault, Southern France, AgriPotential is designed to support multiple machine learning tasks, including:

  • Ordinal classification and regression
  • Multi-label classification
  • Segmentation and spatio-temporal modeling

Dataset features

  • Sentinel-2 Satellite Images: 11 monthly observations from 2019, selected with <2% cloud cover and super-resolved to 5 m/pixel resolution across 10 spectral bands.
  • Pixel-Wise Agricultural Potential Labels: Derived from BD Sol – GDPA, validated by domain experts, and aligned to satellite imagery.
  • Three Crop Types: Labels are provided independently for viticulture, market gardening, and field crops.
  • 8,890 spatio-temporal patches (128×128 pixels) organized into training, validation, and test sets.
  • Multi-Dimensional Support: The data integrates spectral, temporal, and spatial dimensions, making it ideal for deep learning research.

Use cases

  • Land suitability analysis and crop recommendation systems
  • Remote sensing-based agricultural planning
  • Benchmarking spectral-temporal models using high-resolution satellite data
