Damage Assessment Ukraine: Satellite and Aerial Images Before and After Disaster

Satellite and aerial images from before and after disaster events in Ukraine were created to support research on the impact of war on infrastructure. The dataset was authored by KOlegaBB and last updated on May 1, 2025. It aims to address a noted lack of publicly available, labeled datasets representing real-world post-disaster scenarios.

Use Cases

• Training automated damage detection models based on before-and-after satellite imagery.
• Evaluating the performance of computer vision algorithms for infrastructure impact assessment.
• Supporting research on the effects of conflict on urban and rural landscapes.
• Benchmarking disaster response and recovery analysis tools.

Strengths

• Focuses on a real-world, high-impact scenario with images from Ukraine.
• Contains paired before-and-after imagery, which is a core feature for change detection tasks.
• Explicitly created to fill a gap in publicly available labeled data for post-disaster scenarios.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
