Labeled SAR imagery dataset of ten geophysical phenomena from Sentinel-1 wave mode (TenGeoP-SARwv)

The TenGeoP-SARwv dataset is established based on the acquisitions of Sentinel-1A wave mode (WV) in VV polarization. This dataset consists of more than 37,000 SAR vignettes divided into ten defined geophysical categories, including both oceanic and meteorologic features. These images cover the entire open ocean and are manually selected from Sentinel-1A WV acquisitions in 2016. For each image, only one prevalent geophysical phenomena with its prescribed signature and texture is selected for labeling. The SAR images are processed into a quick-look image provided in the formats of PNG and GeoTIFF as well as the associated labels. They are convenient for both visual inspection and machine-learning-based methods exploitation. The proposed dataset is the first one involving different oceanic or atmospheric phenomena over the open ocean. It seeks to foster the development of strategies or approaches for massive ocean SAR image analysis. A key objective is to allow exploiting the full potential of Sentinel-1 WV SAR acquisitions, which are about 60,000 images per satellite per month and freely available. Such a dataset may be of value to a wide range of users and communities in deep learning, remote sensing, oceanography, and meteorology

Statement

The ESA Sentinel-1 mission is a constellation of two polar-orbiting, sun-synchronous satellites (S-1 A and S-1 B) launched in April of 2014 and 2016, respectively. These two satellites both have a 12-day repeat cycle at the equator, and are phased at 180 deg to provide an effective 6-day repeat cycle. For each satellite, the expected lifetime is 7 years. Both carry a C-band SAR instrument with a center frequency of 5.405 GHz (5.5 cm wavelength). There are four exclusive imaging modes (Interferometric Wide swath, Extra Wide swath mode, Strip Map and Wave Mode) for the S-1 SAR sensors. WV is the default operational mode over open ocean unless wide-swath SAR images are requested for particular applications.
