QuakeSet

QuakeSet is a dataset to analyze different attributes of earthquakes. It contains bi-temporal time series of images and ground truth annotations for magnitudes, hypocenters, and affected areas.

You can find an official implementation on TorchGeo.

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

The images are taken from the Sentinel-1 mission using the Interferometric Wide swath mode.

The International Seismological Centre provides information about earthquakes.

Dataset Structure

The dataset is divided into three folds with equal distribution of magnitudes and balanced in positive and negative examples.

Each sample contains:

• an image
• x,y coordinates
• epsg of the coordinates
• affected label
• magnitude

NOTE: the main file is earthquakes.h5, while p_earthquakes.h5 contains the private set for the SMAC Challenge. This set contains only placeholder ground truth.
