Burnt & Flooded Crop Benchmark Data (BFC-Bench)

Global, phenology-timed agricultural hazard benchmark data for geospatial foundation models.

5,102 chips of flooded cropland (1,297 events) and 4,786 chips of burnt cropland (1,463 events), 2020–2026. Each chip is 512 × 512 px at 10 m and comes with its damage label, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 images from before and after the event, the crop growth stage at the event date, and a quality-control verdict.

Each hazard folder holds shards/*.tar, with five GeoTIFFs (label, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 before and after) and a JSON sidecar per chip, and manifest.csv / manifest.parquet, one row per chip.

Examples

Flooded crop

Six chips from Niger, Pakistan, China, Brazil, Thailand and Greece, one per event. Columns: Sentinel-2 before and after, Sentinel-1 VV before and after, the label, and flood persistence, the share of valid Sentinel-1 overpasses in which each pixel was flooded. fc is the chip's flooded-cropland share.

Burnt crop

Six chips from Ethiopia, India, China, Brazil, Vietnam and Turkey. Columns: Sentinel-2 before and after, Sentinel-1 before and after, the label, and dNBR burn severity, from 0 (unburned) to 4 (high).
