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 a ...

This feature layer is Microsoft's recently released, free, set of deep learning generated building footprints covering the United States of America. In support of this great work and to make these building footprints available to the ArcGIS community, Esri has consolidated the buildings into a single layer and shared them in ArcGIS Online. The footprints can be used for visualization using vector tile format or as hosted feature layer to do analysis. Learn more about the Microsoft Project at the Announcement Blog or the raw data is available at Github.The original AGOL Item was produced by ESRI and is located here.

Bing Maps is releasing open building footprints around the world. We have detected 1.3B buildings from Bing Maps imagery between 2014 and 2024 including Maxar, Airbus, and IGN France imagery. The data is freely available for download and use under ODbL.Source: https://github.com/microsoft/GlobalMLBuildingFootprintsFile Geodatabase for download

These values are represented as raster layers with 30m cell size covering the 48 conterminous states, to better support incorporation of building footprint data into large-extent modelling.

Microsoft recently released a free set of deep learning generated building footprints covering the United States of America. As part of that project Microsoft shared 8 million digitized building footprints with height information used for training the Deep Learning Algorithm. This map layer includes all buildings with height information for the original training set that can be used in scene viewer and ArcGIS pro to create simple 3D representations of buildings.

Computer generated building footprints for the Tennessee. Comes out of the open source project by Microsoft to map all the buildings in the USA. More details can be found at https://github.com/Microsoft/USBuildingFootprints

This vector dataset contains information about individual building footprints covering all countries of the European Union (EU27). This is the result of conflating the building footprint polygons available in three datasets, and in the following order of priority: OpenStreetMap, Microsoft GlobalML Building Footprints and European Settlement Map.

Results indicate how DBSM R2023 compares robustly agains cadastral data from Estonia, used as reference area.

The comparison with GHS-BUILT-S, reveals a relative overestimation of the latter, factored by 0.68 at the EU scale for a sound match. While this dataset only contains the polygon of the building footprint, the aim is to continue to add relevant attributes from the point of view of energy efficiency and energy consumption in building in future versions.

Computer generated buiilding footprints for Maryland. The methodology for the generation of the building footprints can be found at: https://github.com/Microsoft/USBuildingFootprints. These building footprints should be used a reference only and the geometries are not considered accurate enough to provide detailed estimates related to their location, area, or associated attributes.This is a MD iMAP hosted service layer.

Building Footprints (Microsoft), 20190211 - Shows 3,268,325 building footprints in Indiana. It was produced from data originally created by Microsoft in June 2018 for all 50 U.S. states. Attribute fields showing building footprint perimeter length and area were added (software computed by Esri) by IGWS personnel after the conversion and reprojection of the Microsoft download file named "Indiana.GeoJSON" to an Esri polygon feature class. It was created to provide access to Microsoft's building footprints for Indiana in an Esri GIS file format (file geodatabase).Download Esri File Geodatabase: Building_Footprints_Microsoft.ZIPAccess FGDC metadata: Building_Footprints_Microsoft.HTML or XMLThe following is excerpted from Microsoft's GitHub "USBuildingFootprints" Web page: "Our metrics show that in the vast majority of cases the quality is at least as good as data hand digitized buildings in OpenStreetMap. It is not perfect, particularly in dense urban areas but it is still awesome. The vintage of the footprints depends on the vintage of the underlying imagery. Because Bing Imagery is a composite of multiple sources it is difficult to know the exact dates for individual pieces of data. While our metrics show that this data meets or exceeds the quality of hand drawn building footprints, the data does vary in quality from place to place, between rural and urban, mountains and plains, and so on. Inspect quality locally and discuss an import plan with the community."

The three-dimensional (3-D) information (i.e., heights) of buildings, in addition to their footprints, is of great importance to a variety of urban studies. This dataset is the first estimated height of each individual building (2020) in the conterminous United States (US) using multi-source remotely sensed observations and the Microsoft open-access building footprint data. The derived building height dataset shows a good agreement with the reference building height data in the conterminous US (i.e., R-square = 0.82, RMSE = 3.30m). This dataset is in shapefile format with building height in attribute tables. The three-dimensional building height dataset reveals spatial variations of urban form at a large scale, deepening our understanding of complex interactions between human society and natural systems.
