deadtrees.earth-aerial: A Multi-Resolution Aerial Image Dataset for Tree Cover and Mortality Detection

ArXi:2605.19605v1 Announce Type: new Forests worldwide are increasingly threatened by climate change and disturbances such as fire, pests, and pathogens, creating an urgent need for scalable monitoring of tree cover and tree mortality. Aerial imagery from drones and aircraft is a key data source for detailed and large-scale mapping of tree crowns and mortality. However, related progress is limited by the lack of globally representative, harmonized datasets for joint segmentation of tree cover and mortality. We
