# CAFOSat: CAFO Infrastructure Dataset
CAFOSat is a remote sensing dataset designed for identifying and classifying Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) across various U.S. states. It includes high-resolution image patches, infrastructure annotations, bounding boxes, and experimental train-test splits for multiple configurations.

## Dataset Structure
The dataset is organized into extracted folders originally packaged as `.tar.gz` files:
- `STATE_filtered/`: Original patches per U.S. state
(e.g., `IA_filtered/`, `AL_filtered/`)
- `negative_samples/`: Verified non-CAFO examples
- `barn/`, `manure_pond/`, `others/`: Augmented synthetic patches by infrastructure type
- `CAFOSat.csv`: Master metadata file with labels, bounding boxes, and split flags
All image paths referenced in the CSV point to these extracted folders.
πŸ“„ Example data loader available [here](https://github.com/oishee-hoque/CAFOSat/tree/main/data_loader).

## πŸ”– Image File Reference (`patch_file`)
Each row in the metadata includes a `patch_file` field that provides the relative path to the associated image file.
Example:
-`IA_filtered.tar.gz::IA_filtered/crop_4517_patch_10147_Swine_Nursery_IA.tif`
- `barn.tar.gz::`barn/aug_patch_00123.tif`
- `negative_sample.tar.gz::`barn/neg_patch_00098.tif`

## Features (CAFOSat.csv)
| Column | Description |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `patch_file` | Path to the image file |
| `label` | Integer label for class (0–6) |
| `barn`, `manure_pond`, `grazing_area`, `others` | Binary flags indicating infrastructure types |
| `geom_bbox` | Bounding box coordinates `[x1, y1, x2, y2]` |
| `geometry` | Geospatial polygon outlining the CAFO region |
| `poly_crs` | Coordinate reference system used for `geometry` |
| `patch_crs` | Coordinate reference system used for the image patch |
| `category` | CAFO class name (e.g., Swine, Dairy) |
| `state` | U.S. state where the patch is located |
| `verified_label` | Boolean indicating if the label is human-verified |
| `CAFO_UNIQUE_ID` | Unique identifier for each CAFO facility |
| `image_type` | Image variant type: `augmented` else real |
| `orig_patch_file` | Name/path of the original patch (applicable if the image_type is `augmented`) |
| `prompt` | Text prompt or description for generative/semantic use (if applicable) |
| `weak_x`, `weak_y` | Collected CAFO center coordinates |
| `refined_x`, `refined_y` | Refined CAFO center coordinates |
| `patch_res` | Spatial resolution of the patch in meters per pixel
| `split columns` | Flags for different train/test/val splits |

## πŸ§ͺ Train/Test/Val Split Flags
These are boolean-like flags (`True`/`False`) that indicate inclusion in various dataset splits:
- `cafosat_verified_training_train`, `cafosat_verified_training_test`, `cafosat_verified_training_val`
- `cafosat_all_training_*`
- `cafosat_training_set1_*`, `set2_*`
- `cafosat_merged_training_*`
- `cafosat_augmented_training_*`
Each flag is a binary indicator (`1` = in split, `0` = excluded).

## Labels
| Class ID | Class Name |
|----------|----------------|
| 0 | Negative |
| 1 | Swine |
| 2 | Dairy |
| 3 | Beef |
| 4 | Poultry |
| 5 | Horses |
| 6 | Sheep/Goats |

## πŸ“Œ Intended Use
- **CAFO detection and classification** – Identify and categorize CAFO facilities from aerial imagery.
- **CAFO area detection with bounding box** – Localize CAFOs using annotated bounding box coordinates.
- **Agricultural infrastructure mapping** – Map features like barns, manure ponds, and grazing areas.
- **Weak supervision and semi-supervised learning** – Leverage partially labeled data for model development.
- **Remote sensing benchmark development** – Support standardized evaluation for remote sensing tasks.
