Description

This is training and testing data for the detection of hunting pits in airborne laser data. The data is split into three parts. 1: Data for transfer learning with radar imagery and impact craters on the moon. 2. Data for training and testing of the machine learning model. 3: Data from a separate demonstration area used to evaluate the model.

The lunar data (1) were used to pre-train a machine learning model before training on the real data of hunting pits from earth (2). The demonstration data was used to visually evaluate the result of the final model.
All code used to create this dataset and train the machine learning models can be found here: https://github.com/williamlidberg/Detection-of-hunting-pits-using-airborne-laser-scanning-and-deep-learning The code is also included in the file "code.zip"
