# Subalpine Forest Segmentation

This dataset provides real RGB imagery of subalpine forest ecosystems captured in the field using a DJI Mavic 2 UAV equipped with a 1-inch CMOS camera. Collected on June 15, 2020, in Wanglang National Nature Reserve, China, the images depict natural forest structures and ground cover under typical high-altitude temperate conditions. It serves as a field-based resource for semantic segmentation tasks in ecological monitoring and forest analysis. The dataset contains 11,336 images with pixel-level mask annotations.

This dataset is indexed on https://project-agml.github.io/ as part of the AgML python library.
