# Dataset for Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation 

Based on the ESA WorldCover 2020 v100 dataset:

> Zanaga, D., Van De Kerchove, R., De Keersmaecker, W., Souverijns, N., Brockmann, C., Quast, R., Wevers, J., Grosu, A., Paccini, A., Vergnaud, S., Cartus, O., Santoro, M., Fritz, S., Georgieva, I., Lesiv, M., Carter, S., Herold, M., Li, Linlin, Tsendbazar, N.E., Ramoino, F., Arino, O., 2021. ESA WorldCover 10 m 2020 v100. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5571936

### Dataset structure
~500,000 (image, label, class_proportions) triplets where
  - image -> Remote Sensing composite with Bands B4, B3, B2, B8, B11, B12, S1VV, S1VH at 10m resolution of size 128x128px
  - label -> WorldCover 2020 V100 Semantic Segmentation Map with 11 classes
  - class proportions -> the amount of pixel for each class in percent (sums up to one)

split into 3 subsets for training, validation and testing
  - train_split: 70% ()
  - val_split: 10% ()
  - test_split: 20% ()

additional subtable in LMDB with means and standard deviations for each split

### using this dataset:

1. Reqiurements
  - pytorch
  - lmdb
  - numpy
  - safetensors

2. Extract the LMDB file
  - ```tar -xz S2WC-RSS-like.tar.gz . ```

4. Initialze the dataset reader
```python
import ./WCv1LMDBReader.py

# initialize train dataset by setting split='train' and use all available bands
train_ds = WCv1LMDBReader('<path_to_lmdb_file>', split='train', output_bands=[Bands.ALL])

# initialize val dataset by setting split='val' and use all available bands
val_ds = WCv1LMDBReader('<path_to_lmdb_file>', split='val', output_bands=[Bands.ALL])

# initialize train dataset by setting split='test' and use all available bands
test_ds = WCv1LMDBReader('<path_to_lmdb_file>', split='test', output_bands=[Bands.ALL])

# load the means and std deviations
train_mean, train_std = train_ds.get_mean_std()
val_mean, val_std = val_ds.get_mean_std()
test_mean, test_std = test_ds.get_mean_std()
```
create a pytorch dataset that can be used with a dataloader in either pytorch lightning or plain pytorch e.g.
```python
from torch.utils.data import Dataloader

train_loader = utils.data.DataLoader(train_ds, batch_size=64, num_workers=4, shuffle=True)
val_loader = utils.data.DataLoader(val_ds, batch_size=64, num_workers=4)
test_loader = utils.data.DataLoader(test_ds, batch_size=64, num_workers=4)
```
