DNP-XGboostLaPlata

Capas de construcciones estimadas a partir de modelo de clasificación XGboost aplicado a imágenes satelitales para el Municipio de La Plata. The model was developed during the DataSandbox Colombia 2020 by the Data Science Unit of the Departamento Nacional de Planeación. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Classifying land cover as building or non-building using the probability column and polygon geometry.
• Mapping urban development density by aggregating polygon features per municipio.
• Validating and improving remote sensing models by analyzing the probability scores associated with each classified polygon.

Strengths

• Includes a probability score for each classified polygon, indicating model confidence.
• Covers a specific administrative area (Municipio de La Plata).
• Available in multiple open formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
