SelvaBox: A high-resolution dataset for tropical tree crown detection
- 基于无人机影像构建多国高分辨率树冠标注数据集
- 超8.3万棵树冠标注,规模远超此前所有数据集总和
- 适用于遥感、生态监测及模型训练,尤其适合林学与环境研究者
在受人类活动与气候变化影响的热带森林中,识别单个树冠对生态研究至关重要。然而,热带树冠形态多样、重叠密集,需依赖高分辨率遥感影像与先进方法。尽管关注度上升,高质量标注数据仍极度稀缺。本文发布SelvaBox,目前最大的公开热带树冠检测高分辨率无人机影像数据集,覆盖三个国家,包含超过83,000个手工标注树冠,规模为此前所有热带森林数据集之和的一阶以上。在SelvaBox上的广泛基准测试揭示两大发现:(1) 更高分辨率输入可稳定提升检测精度;(2) 仅在SelvaBox上训练的模型,在未见数据集上实现媲美甚至超越现有方法的零样本检测性能。此外,将SelvaBox与另外三个分辨率3至10厘米/像素的数据集联合训练,通过统一多分辨率流程,所获检测器在所有评估数据集中排名前二。本研究公开数据集、代码与预训练权重。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Detecting individual tree crowns in tropical forests is essential to study these complex and crucial ecosystems impacted by human interventions and climate change. However, tropical crowns vary widely in size, structure, and pattern and are largely overlapping and intertwined, requiring advanced remote sensing methods applied to high-resolution imagery. Despite growing interest in tropical tree crown detection, annotated datasets remain scarce, hindering robust model development. We introduce SelvaBox, the largest open-access dataset for tropical tree crown detection in high-resolution drone imagery. It spans three countries and contains more than 83,000 manually labeled crowns - an order of magnitude larger than all previous tropical forest datasets combined. Extensive benchmarks on SelvaBox reveal two key findings: (1) higher-resolution inputs consistently boost detection accuracy; and (2) models trained exclusively on SelvaBox achieve competitive zero-shot detection performance on unseen tropical tree crown datasets, matching or exceeding competing methods. Furthermore, jointly training on SelvaBox and three other datasets at resolutions from 3 to 10 cm per pixel within a unified multi-resolution pipeline yields a detector ranking first or second across all evaluated datasets. Our dataset, code, and pre-trained weights are made public.
