You are provided with a tabular dataset consisting of 953 entries for training and 858 entries for testing respectively. The tabular features are derived from freely accessible satellite data across two pilot regions. They are organised as 12 monthly composites for each location, specified by latitude and longitude. The features include:
- Sentinel-1 (SAR) - radar backscatter bands (VH, VV) capturing surface texture and moisture
- Sentinel-2 (Optical) - multispectral surface reflectance bands capturing the spectral signature of water bodies and surrounding vegetation
The target variable is binary: aquaculture pond (1) or other (0).
The latitude and longitude should only be used to download data. They SHOULD NOT BE USE AS FEATURES.
