填补非洲造林监测数据空白,助力机器学习精准追踪树木生长。
Miti360: A Comprehensive Dataset for Improved Reforestation Monitoring
- 构建肯尼亚基尼森林770公顷区域的多源遥感与地面数据集
- 用三年影像验证模型精度提升,框检测召回率增69%
- 专为撒哈拉以南非洲设计,适合林业与环境科研人员
过去十年,机器学习在森林监测中的应用日益增长,但现有训练数据主要来自北美、欧洲、亚洲和澳大利亚,非洲林业数据严重不足。为弥补这一地理多样性缺口,我们提出Miti360,一个用于造林监测的综合性数据集,包含高分辨率影像、实地真值数据及长期气象数据。数据采集覆盖肯尼亚基尼森林770公顷的再造林区,时间跨度为2023年3月至2025年2月。Miti360包括航拍正射影像与图块(含树冠边界框标注)、地面单目与双目图像,以及详细的树体生物物理参数、物种信息与GPS坐标,并整合历史气象数据。航拍使用DJI Mavic 2 Pro无人机,影像通过Agisoft Metashape拼接,再用ArcGIS Pro切片;地面拍摄采用智能手机与定制双目相机。该数据集可支持训练机器学习系统,实现树体普查加速、物种与地理匹配、基于气象的生长建模及数字孪生框架构建。通过在Miti360上微调,我们成功实现三年树冠追踪,并使DeepForest模型的框精度提升12%,框召回率提高69%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Over the past decade, interest in applying machine learning (ML) to automate forest monitoring has grown significantly. However, existing training datasets are predominantly drawn from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, leaving a critical gap in African forestry data. To address this limited geographic diversity, we present Miti360, a comprehensive dataset for reforestation monitoring that comprises high-resolution imagery, ground truth data, and longitudinal weather data. Data collection occurred within a 770-ha reforested section of the Kieni Forest in Kenya between March 2023 and February 2025. Miti360 comprises aerial photos (orthophotos and tiles) with tree bounding box annotations, terrestrial images (single and stereo), and detailed data records including tree biophysical parameters, species, and GPS coordinates, alongside historical weather data. Aerial surveys utilized a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, with imagery stitched via Agisoft Metashape and tiled using ArcGIS Pro, while terrestrial captures used smartphones and custom stereo cameras. Miti360 enables the training of ML systems for tasks such as accelerating tree censuses, matching species to geographical areas, modelling growth based on weather conditions, and developing digital twin frameworks. Models can be trained on Miti360 to address challenges specific to Sub-Saharan Africa, ultimately advancing reforestation monitoring and fostering sustainable forestry practices in underrepresented regions. We demonstrate the utility of this dataset by successfully tracking tree crowns across three years and improving the DeepForest model's box precision and box recall by 12% and 69% respectively through fine-tuning on Miti360.
