CAFOSat: A Strongly Annotated Dataset for Infrastructure-Aware CAFO Mapping Using High-Resolution Imagery

- 通过人机协同流程将模糊位置转为精细标注
- 包含45,000+图像块,覆盖20个州和4类养殖场
- 提供棚舍、粪池等基础设施级标注,适合农业遥感研究
集中化动物饲养场(CAFOs)在农业生产中至关重要,但同时也带来环境、公共健康和疾病监测风险。从遥感影像大规模映射CAFOs仍面临基础设施布局异质、位置记录噪声、标注不一致和清单不完整等挑战。本文提出CAFOSat,一个面向全美范围的强标注、基础设施感知的CAFO映射数据集。该数据集融合高分辨率国家农业影像计划(NAIP)影像与多源跨州CAFO清单,通过人机协同流程——结合AI辅助标注、GradCAM定位与几何聚类,将弱地理信息转化为精细标注。为提升数据质量,采用基于地表覆盖的采样策略与空间排除约束构建挑战性负样本,并经人工验证提供棚舍、粪池及放牧相关特征等基础设施级标注。最终数据集涵盖超过4.5万张图像块,覆盖20个州和4大主要CAFO类别。我们对多种卷积、Transformer及视觉-语言模型进行基准测试,验证了精标注与精选负样本在分类与泛化上的价值。此外,引入合成增强管道生成具有基础设施感知的变体,提升模型在分布偏移下的鲁棒性。CAFOSat为高分辨率遥感影像下的基础设施感知农业监测与CAFO映射提供了大规模基准。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) play an important role in agricultural production but are also associated with environmental, public health, and disease surveillance concerns. Large-scale mapping of CAFOs from remote sensing imagery remains challenging due to heterogeneous infrastructure layouts, noisy location records, inconsistent annotations, and incomplete inventories. We introduce CAFOSat, a strongly annotated, infrastructure-aware dataset for CAFO mapping across the United States. CAFOSat integrates high-resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery with multi-source CAFO inventories collected across multiple states and transforms weak geolocation records into refined annotations through a human-in-the-loop pipeline combining AI-assisted annotation, GradCAM-based localization, and geometric clustering. To improve dataset quality, we curate challenging negative samples using land-cover-guided sampling with spatial exclusion constraints and provide infrastructure-level annotations, including barns, manure ponds, and grazing-related features, through manual verification. The resulting dataset contains more than 45,000 image patches spanning 20 states and four major CAFO categories. We benchmark a diverse set of convolutional, transformer-based, and vision-language models, demonstrating the value of refined annotations and curated negative samples for CAFO classification and generalization. In addition, we introduce a synthetic augmentation pipeline that generates infrastructure-aware variations to increase training diversity and improve robustness under distribution shifts. CAFOSat provides a large-scale benchmark for advancing infrastructure-aware agricultural monitoring and CAFO mapping from high-resolution remote sensing imagery.
