  LEVIR-CD consists of 637 very high-resolution (VHR, 0.5m/pixel) Google Earth image patch pairs with a size of 1024 × 1024 pixels. These bitemporal images with time span of 5 to 14 years have significant land-use changes, especially the construction growth. LEVIR-CD covers various types of buildings, such as villa residences, tall apartments, small garages and large warehouses. The fully annotated LEVIR-CD contains a total of 31,333 individual change building instances. Paper: Chen et al.2020

It consists of two large-size VHR images, which have a size of 7200x6000 and are respectively acquired by IKONOS sensors in Feb 2002 and Jun 2009. The images cover the Hanyang District, Wuhan City, China and contain 4 spectral bands (Blue, Green, Red, and Near-Infrared). The spatial resolution of the images is 1m after fusion of the pan and multispectral images by the Gram–Schmidt algorithm. For a discussion of this dataset, please refer to #3. Paper: Wu et al.2017

• 2018.Synthetic images and real season-varying remote sensing images
  This dataset has three types: synthetic images without objects relative shift, synthetic images with small relative shift of objects, real season-varying remote sensing images(obtained by Google Earth). The real season-varying remote sensing images have 16000 image sets with image size 256x256 pixels(10000 train sets and 3000 test and validation sets) and a spatial resolution of 3 to 100 cm/px.

• 2018.Onera Satellite Change Detection Dataset
  This dataset addresses the issue of detecting changes between satellite images from different dates. It comprises 24 pairs of multispectral images taken from the Sentinel-2 satellites between 2015 and 2018. Locations are picked all over the world, in Brazil, USA, Europe, Middle-East and Asia. For each location, registered pairs of 13-band multispectral satellite images obtained by the Sentinel-2 satellites are provided. Images vary in spatial resolution between 10m, 20m, and 60m. Paper: Daudt R C et al.2018

• 2011.The Aerial Imagery Change Detection (AICD) dataset
  This dataset contains synthetic aerial images with artificial changes generated with a rendering engine. It contains 1000 pairs of 800x600 images, each pair consisting of one reference image and one test image, and the 1000 corresponding 800x600 ground truth masks. Paper: Bourdis N et al.2011

• 2008.SZTAKI AirChange Benchmark set
  This dataset contains 13 aerial image pairs of size 952x640 and resolution 1.5m/pixel and binary change masks (drawn by hand). Each record contains a pair of preliminary registered input images and a mask of the 'relevant' changes. The input images are taken with 5, 7 resp. 23 years of time differences. During the generation of the change mask, we have considered the following differences as relevant changes: (a) new built-up regions (b) building operations (c) planting of large group of trees (d) fresh plow-land (e) groundwork before building over. Note that the ground truth does NOT contain change classification, only binary change-no change decision for each pixel. Paper: Benedek C et al.2008
