首个欧盟矿区动态监测基准,用哨兵2号影像分析2015-2024年土地变化。
EuroMineNet: A Multitemporal Sentinel-2 Benchmark for Spatiotemporal Mining Footprint Analysis in the European Union (2015-2024)
- 基于哨兵2号影像构建多时相数据集,覆盖133个矿区
- 提出新指标CA-TIoU,提升长期与突发变化检测能力
- 适合做环境监测、地理人工智能与可持续管理的研究者
采矿活动对工业发展至关重要,但也是环境退化的主因,导致森林砍伐、土壤侵蚀和水体污染。可持续资源管理和环境治理需要对采矿引起的地表变化进行长期一致的监测,但现有数据集在时间深度或地理范围上常有局限。为此,我们提出EuroMineNet,首个基于哨兵2号多光谱影像的欧盟矿区多时相监测基准,涵盖133个矿区,提供2015至2024年逐年观测与专家验证标注,支持地理人工智能模型在大陆尺度分析环境动态。该基准支持两项可持续任务:(1) 多时相矿区范围识别,采用新型变更感知时间交并比(CA-TIoU)评估;(2) 跨时序变化检测,捕捉渐进与突变的地表变化。对20种前沿深度学习模型的基准测试显示,尽管地理人工智能能有效识别长期变化,但在检测短期动态方面仍存挑战。EuroMineNet推动了时序一致且可解释的矿区监测,助力可持续土地利用管理与环境韧性建设,促进地理人工智能服务社会与环境福祉。代码与数据集已按FAIR原则及开放科学理念发布于https://github.com/EricYu97/EuroMineNet。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mining activities are essential for industrial and economic development, but remain a leading source of environmental degradation, contributing to deforestation, soil erosion, and water contamination. Sustainable resource management and environmental governance require consistent, long-term monitoring of mining-induced land surface changes, yet existing datasets are often limited in temporal depth or geographic scope. To address this gap, we present EuroMineNet, the first comprehensive multitemporal benchmark for mining footprint mapping and monitoring based on Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery. Spanning 133 mining sites across the European Union, EuroMineNet provides annual observations and expert-verified annotations from 2015 to 2024, enabling GeoAI-based models to analyze environmental dynamics at a continental scale. It supports two sustainability-driven tasks: (1) multitemporal mining footprint mapping for consistent annual land-use delineation, evaluated with a novel Change-Aware Temporal IoU (CA-TIoU) metric, and (2) cross-temporal change detection to capture both gradual and abrupt surface transformations. Benchmarking 20 state-of-the-art deep learning models reveals that while GeoAI methods effectively identify long-term environmental changes, challenges remain in detecting short-term dynamics critical for timely mitigation. By advancing temporally consistent and explainable mining monitoring, EuroMineNet contributes to sustainable land-use management, environmental resilience, and the broader goal of applying GeoAI for social and environmental good. We release the codes and datasets by aligning with FAIR and the open science paradigm at https://github.com/EricYu97/EuroMineNet.
