Description
Summary:Abstract Maps are fundamental medium to visualize and represent the real word in a simple and philosophical way. The emergence of the big data tide has made a proportion of maps generated from multiple sources, significantly enriching the dimensions and perspectives for understanding the characteristics of the real world. However, a majority of these map datasets remain undiscovered, unacquired and ineffectively used, which arises from the lack of numerous well-labelled benchmark datasets, which are of significance to implement the deep learning techniques into identifying complicated map content. To address this issue, we develop a large-scale benchmark dataset involving well-labelled datasets to employ the state-of-the-art machine intelligence technologies for map text annotation recognition, map scene classification, map super-resolution reconstruction, and map style transferring. Furthermore, these well-labelled datasets would facilitate map feature detection, map pattern recognition and map content retrieval. We hope our efforts would provide well-labelled data resources for advancing the ability to recognize and discover valuable map content.
