# DeepExtremeCubes-video: Sentinel-2 Minicubes in Video Format for Compound-Extreme Analysis |
|
|
|
|
|
## 📝 Description |
|
|
|
|
|
### 📦 Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
**DeepExtremeCubes-video** is a storage-efficient, analysis-ready re-packaging of the original [DeepExtremeCubes](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1234567) collection. |
|
|
All 42 k Sentinel-2 minicubes (2.56 km × 2.56 km, 2016-2022, 7 bands, 5-daily cadence) have been transcoded with **[xarrayvideo](https://github.com/IPL-UV/xarrayvideo)** into H.265/HEVC videos, achieving \~12 × lossless-perceptual compression (≈ 270 GB vs 2.3 TB) at ≈ 56 dB PSNR. |
|
|
|
|
|
This compact representation removes the prime bottleneck for training deep-learning models on spatio-temporal Earth-observation data, while preserving scientific fidelity for tasks such as: |
|
|
|
|
|
* **Impact mapping** of compound heat-wave & drought (CHD) events |
|
|
* **Forecasting** vegetation stress during extremes with ConvLSTM / U-TAE models |
|
|
* **Self-supervised pre-training** on long reflectance sequences |
|
|
|
|
|
### 🛰️ Sensors |
|
|
|
|
|
* **Sentinel-2 MSI (Level-2A surface reflectance)** – Bands B02, B03, B04, B05, B06, B07, B8A at 10 m & 20 m (upsampled) |
|
|
* **ERA5-Land single-pixel time-series** (temperature, soil moisture, etc.) |
|
|
* **Copernicus DEM 30 m** (static) |
|
|
* **Cloud/SCL masks** from EarthNet Cloud-Mask v1 |
|
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** All dynamic variables (bands, masks, ERA5-Land) are encoded as multi-channel videos; static rasters (DEM, land-cover) remain as compressed GeoTIFFs. |
