The Bing Maps team at Microsoft released a U.S.-wide vector building dataset in 2018, which includes over 125 million building footprints for all 50 states in GeoJSON format. This dataset is extracted from aerial images using deep learning object classification methods. Large-extent modelling (e.g., urban morphological analysis or ecosystem assessment models) or accuracy assessment with vector layers is highly challenging in practice. Although vector layers provide accurate geometries, their use in large-extent geospatial analysis comes at a high computational cost. We used High Performance Computing (HPC) to develop an algorithm that calculates six summary values for each cell in a raster representation of each U.S. state: (1) total footprint coverage, (2) number of unique buildings intersecting each cell, (3) number of building centroids falling inside each cell, and area of the (4) average, (5) smallest, and (6) largest area of buildings that intersect each cell. These values are represented as raster layers with 30 m cell size covering the 48 conterminous states, to better support incorporation of building footprint data into large-extent modelling. We also identify errors in the original building dataset where buildings are systematically over- or undercounted, providing further guidance for their use in geospatial analysis.

Initial Data Capture: Building were originally digitized using ESRI construction tools such as rectangle and polygon. Textron Feature Analyst was then used to digitize buildings using a semi-automated polygon capture tool as well as a fully automated supervised learning method. The method that proved to be most effective was the semi-automated polygon capture tool as the fully automated process produced polygons that required extensive cleanup. This tool increased the speed and accuracy of digitizing by 40%.Purpose of Data Created: To supplement our GIS viewers with a searchable feature class of structures within Ventura County that can aid in analysis for multiple agencies and the public at large.Types of Data Used: Aerial Imagery (Pictometry 2015, 9inch ortho/oblique, Pictometry 2018, 6inch ortho/oblique) Simi Valley Lidar Data (Q2 Harris Corp Lidar) Coverage of Data:Buildings have been collected from the aerial imageries extent. The 2015 imagery coverage the south county from the north in Ojai to the south in thousand oaks, to the east in Simi Valley, and to the West in the county line with Santa Barbara. Lockwood Valley was also captured in the 2015 imagery. To collect buildings for the wilderness areas we needed to use the imagery from 2007 when we last flew aerial imagery for the entire county. 2018 Imagery was used to capture buildings that were built after 2015.Schema: Fields: APN, Image Date, Image Source, Building Type, Building Description, Address, City, Zip, Data Source, Parcel Data (Year Built, Basement yes/no, Number of Floors) Zoning Data (Main Building, Out Building, Garage), First Floor Elevation, Rough Building Height, X/Y Coordinates, Dimensions. Confidence Levels/Methods:Address data: 90% All Buildings should have an address if they appear to be a building that would normally need an address (Main Residence). To create an address, we do a spatial join on the parcels from the centroid of a building polygon and extract the address data and APN. To collect the missing addresses, we can do a spatial join between the master address and the parcels and then the parcels back to the building polygons. Using a summarize to the APN field we will be able to identify the parcels that have multiple buildings and delete the address information for the buildings that are not a main residence.Building Type Data: 99% All buildings should have a building type according to the site use category code provided from the parcel table information. To further classify multiple buildings on parcels in residential areas, the shape area field was used to identify building polygons greater than 600 square feet as an occupied residence and all other buildings less than that size as outbuildings. All parcels, inparticular parcels with multiple buildings, are subject to classification error. Further defining could be possible with extensive quality control APN Data: 98% All buildings have received APN data from their associated parcel after a spatial join was performed. Building overlapping parcel lines had their centroid derived which allowed for an accurate spatial join.Troubleshooting Required: Buildings would sometimes overlap parcel lines making spatial joining inaccurate. To fix this you create a point from the centroid of the building polygon, join the parcel information to the point, then join the point with the parcel information back to the building polygon.

This chipped training dataset is over Paris and includes 30cm high-resolution imagery (.tif format) and corresponding building footprint vector labels (.geojson format) in 256 x 256 or smaller pixel tile/label pairs. This dataset is a ramp Tier 1 dataset, meaning it has been thoroughly reviewed and improved. This dataset was used in developing the ramp baseline model and contains 1,027 tiles and 3,468 buildings. The original dataset was sourced from the SpaceNet 2 Dataset before the imagery was tiled down from 650x650 pixel chips and labels were revised to be consistent with the ramp datasets notion of rooftop as the building footprint. Dataset keywords: Urban, Dense.

Building footprint and height data were obtained from the latest global 3D building database. The building footprint data originated from Microsoft and Google datasets. Building height information was estimated using an XGBoost machine learning regression model that integrates multi-source remote sensing features. The height estimation model was trained using datasets from ONEGEO Map, Microsoft, Baidu, and EMU Analytics, utilizing 2020 data for the final estimations. Validation of this database demonstrates that the height estimation models perform exceptionally well at a global scale across both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The estimated heights closely match reference height data, especially for landmark buildings, showcasing superior accuracy compared to other global height products. The 3D building data that support this dataset are available in Zenodo DOI:10.5194/essd-16-5357-2024 (Che, Y., Li, X., Liu, X., Wang, Y., Liao, W., Zheng, X., Zhang, X., Xu, X., Shi, Q., Zhu, J., Yuan, H., and Dai, Y. 3D-GloBFP: the first global three-dimensional building footprint dataset. Earth System Science Data)Based on the 3D building database, we verify the locations and boundaries of individual cultural heritage sites and their buffer zones using UNESCO's heritage map platform (https://whc.unesco.org/), and categorize heritage into three groups for data extraction:Broad Scale Sites: For sites encompassing continuous building clusters or portions of cities (e.g., City of Bath), we extract buildings within the designated buffer zones provided by the UNESCO platform.Single Building Sites: For individual monuments or structures (e.g., Tower of London), we precisely extract the building footprints based on their exact coordinates.Multiple Dispersed Buildings: For sites consisting of multiple, non-contiguous structures (e.g., Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska, Poland), we identify each location using the platform’s data and verify them through Google Maps before extracting the relevant buildings.A few linear heritage sites, such as extensive archaeological routes spanning over a thousand kilometers, are excluded due to the complexities associated with their vast spatial extent and the variability of climate conditions across different segments.The effective data coverage varies across continents: Europe and North America have an effective rate of 82.5%, Asia and the Pacific 68.3%, Latin America and the Caribbean 75.7%, Arab States 76.5%, and Africa 49.2%. This variability reflects differences in data availability. In less developed regions, remote sensing data tends to overlook non-urban heritage sites, and soil and rock structures common in Africa and Southeast Asia are more difficult to detect using satellite remote sensing techniques, leading to lower effective data coverage in these regions.

We collected open and publicly available data resources from the web from administrative, county- or state-level institutions in the United States and integrated and harmonized cadastral parcel data, tax assessment data, and building footprint data for 33 counties, where building footprint data and building construction year information was available. The result of this effort is a unique dataset which we call the Multi-Temporal Building Footprint Dataset for 33 U.S. Counties (MTBF-33). MTBF-33 contains over 6.2 million building footprints including their construction year, and is available in ESRI Shapefile format, and in two spatial reference systems: (a) WGS84 (EPSG:4326), and (b) NAD1983 Albers Conic Equal Area Projection (EPSG:5070; aka ESRI:102039 or SR-ORG:7480), organized per county. We compared the MTBF-33 dataset quantitatively to other building footprint data sources, achieving an overall F-1 score of 0.93. Moreover, we compared the MTBF-33 dataset qualitatively to urban extents from historical maps and find high levels of agreement. The MTBF-33 dataset can be used to support historical building stock assessments, to derive retrospective depictions of built-up areas from 1900 to 2015, at fine spatial and temporal grain and can be used for data validation purposes, or to train statistical learning approaches aiming to extract historical information on human settlements from remote sensing data, historical maps, or similar data sources.

Data scraping was performed in 2016.

This dataset contains photogrammetrically compiled roof outlines of buildings. All near orthogonal corners are square. Buildings that are less than 400 square feet are not captured. Special consideration is given to garages that are less than 400 square feet and will be digitized when greater than 200 square feet. Interim rooflines, such as dormers and party walls, as well as minor structures, such as carports, decks, patios, stairs, etc., and impermanent structures, such as sheds, are not shown. Large buildings which appear to house activities that are commercial or industrial in nature are shown as commercial/industrial. Structures that appear to be primarily residential in nature, including hotels and apartment buildings are shown as residential buildings. Structures which appear to be used or owned primarily by governmental, nonprofit, religious, or charitable organizations, or which serve a public function are shown as public buildings. Structures which are closely associated with a larger building, such as a garage, are shown as an out building. Structures which cannot be clearly defined as Industrial/Commercial; Residential; Public; or Out Buildings are flagged as such for later categorization. The classification of buildings is subject to the interpretation from the aerial photography and may not reflect the building’s actual use. Buildings that have an area less than the minimum required size for data capture will occasionally be present in the Geodatabase. Buildings are not removed after they have been digitized and determined to be less than the minimum required size.

Development Notes: Data meets or exceeds map accuracy standards in effect during the spring of 1992 and updated as a result of a flyover in the spring of 2004 and 2015. Original data was derived from aerial photography flown in the spring of 1992 for the eastern half of the County and the spring of 1993 for the western half of the County. Photography was produced at a scale of 1"=1500'. Mapping was stereo digitized at a scale of 1"=200'.

This dataset shows the footprints of all structures within the City of Melbourne. A building footprint is a 2D polygon (or multi-polygon) representation of the base of a building or structure. The footprint is defined as the boundary of the structure where the walls intersect with the ground plane or podium, rather than an outline of the roof area (roofprint).

Where a building has a significant change in built form, multiple footprint polygons are ‘stacked’ vertically to define shape of the built form. This includes, and is not limited to:

• Tower
• Podium
• Setbacks/offsets

The Australian Height Datum (AHD) is the national vertical datum for Australia. The National Mapping Council adopted the AHD in May 1971 as the datum to which all vertical control mapping would be referred

The data was captured in May 2023.
