## Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->

PatternNet is a large-scale high-resolution remote sensing dataset collected for remote sensing image retrieval. There are 38 classes and each class has 800 images of size 256×256 pixels. The images in PatternNet are collected from Google Earth imagery or via the Google Map API for some US cities. The following table shows the classes and the corresponding spatial resolutions. The figure shows some example images from each class.

- **Total Number of Images**: 30400
- **Bands**: 3 (RGB)
- **Image Resolution**: 256x256m
- **Land Cover Classes**: 38
- Classes: airplane, baseball_field, basketball_court, beach, bridge, cemetery, chaparral, christmas_tree_farm, closed_road, coastal_mansion, crosswalk, dense_residential, ferry_terminal, football_field, forest, freeway, golf_course, harbor, intersection, mobile_home_park, nursing_home, oil_gas_field, oil_well, overpass, parking_lot, parking_space, railway, river, runway, runway_marking, shipping_yard, solar_panel, sparse_residential, storage_tank, swimming_pool, tennis_court, transformer_station, wastewater_treatment_plant


## Usage

To use this dataset, simply use `datasets.load_dataset("blanchon/PatternNet")`.
<!-- Provide any additional information on how to use this dataset. -->
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
PatternNet = load_dataset("blanchon/PatternNet")
```
