## Abstract

This work presents SeasoNet, a new large-scale multi-label land cover and land use scene understanding dataset. It includes $1\\,759\\,830$ images from Sentinel-2 tiles, with 12 spectral bands and patch sizes of up to $ 120 \\ \\mathrm{px} \\times 120 \\ \\mathrm{px}$. Each image is annotated with large scale pixel level labels from the German land cover model LBM-DE2018 with land cover classes based on the CORINE Land Cover database (CLC) 2018 and a five times smaller minimum mapping unit (MMU) than the original CLC maps. We provide pixel synchronous examples from all four seasons, plus an additional snowy set. These properties make SeasoNet the currently most versatile and biggest remote sensing scene understanding dataset with possible applications ranging from scene classification over land cover mapping to content-based cross season image retrieval and self-supervised feature learning. We provide baseline results by evaluating state-of-the-art deep networks on the new dataset in scene classification and semantic segmentation scenarios.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
